Rear sprocket bolts sit in the worst place on the bike: they get water, grit and road salt, and every sprocket change means backing them out. Steel ones seize into the hub, and after two seasons you shear the head off instead of undoing the bolt. Titanium ones come out the way they went in.
The threads on these bolts are rolled, not cut. That is not marketing detail: rolling makes the material grain follow the thread profile instead of being severed, so the bolt takes a higher torque and holds clamping force better. With a cut thread, every turn of the helix is a broken grain line.
Which set for what
| Set | What it solves | When it makes sense |
|---|---|---|
| Precision suspension bolts | Play in the suspension joints caused by loose factory tolerances | You hear knocking or the rear feels vague |
| Precision suspension bolts in titanium | The same, plus corrosion resistance and lower weight | You ride through water and mud and want it done once |
| Titanium rear sprocket bolts | Rusting and seized sprocket bolts | You are changing the sprocket or the chain |
| Titanium adjuster bolts | Seized adjuster bolts when setting chain tension | You adjust the chain often and are done with rust |
Let us be honest about titanium: on bolts this size the weight saving is tiny and you will not feel it in the handling. The real reasons are corrosion resistance and the fact that a titanium bolt will not seize into aluminium after a muddy season. If all you want is a lighter bike, spend the money elsewhere.
What you get
Rolled threads
The material grain follows the thread instead of being cut through. Higher permissible torque and a more reliable clamp.
Dual drive
Torx T40 and 10 mm hex. Undo them with whatever you have to hand — and if one is stuck, you get a second chance.
Titanium — does not corrode
It will not seize into the hub. At the next sprocket change they come out without a fight.
A complete set for one joint
You replace every bolt in that spot at once, not one at a time.
Before you buy
You get the bolts only. Bearings, bushings, the sprocket and other parts are separate items.
Fits the Sur-Ron Light Bee. The Ultra Bee and Talaria use different sizes — do not buy this set for another model.
Torque them properly. Titanium and steel behave differently — overtightening a titanium bolt can strip an aluminium thread.

Bolt sets are best replaced during a service of that joint — when everything is apart anyway. That way you do not pay twice for the same labour.

Check before you buy
- Model. This set is for the Sur-Ron Light Bee. The Ultra Bee and Talaria use different sizes.
- Whether you have play. The precision sets make sense when the suspension knocks or the rear feels vague. If everything is tight, you do not need them.
- Torque. Use a torque wrench — titanium does not forgive being overtightened in an aluminium thread.
- When to do it. Cheapest during a service of that joint, when it is already apart.
Frequently asked
Where does the play in a Sur-Ron suspension come from?
The factory bolts have a wide dimensional spread. Some bikes end up with a tight joint, others have noticeable play from new. A precision set made to a narrow tolerance removes that spread.
Is titanium stronger than steel?
Not in absolute terms. Titanium has a better strength-to-weight ratio and it does not corrode — those are the real reasons it is used here. The strength of a good steel bolt is already sufficient.
What do rolled threads give me?
Rolling makes the material grain follow the thread profile instead of severing it. The bolt takes a higher torque and holds its clamp better than a cut-thread equivalent.
Will I feel the weight difference?
No. On bolts this size the saving is symbolic. What you are buying is corrosion resistance and a bolt that will not seize into aluminium.
Does it fit an Ultra Bee or a Talaria?
No. This set is dimensioned for the Light Bee. For other models write to us and we will pick the right one.
What torque should I use?
The same as the factory value for that joint. Use a torque wrench: an overtightened titanium bolt can damage an aluminium thread.
