How to combine the RED XPLR bolt kit with the dedicated shifter screw kit for maximum weight reduction on a SRAM 13-speed gravel group set.

Replaces every steel fastener on SRAM's 13-speed gravel group set with Grade 5 titanium. Covers what's included, where the savings come from, and XPLR-specific parts.

A practical installation guide for the TiNE Shimano titanium bolt kit — what each piece replaces, which subsystem to start with, torque tips, and how 105, Ultegra, and Dura-Ace differ in total savings.

What does the SRAM RED AXS titanium bolt kit actually cover? Five positions across the groupset, from shifter bolts to DUB crank cap. Full breakdown with stock and titanium weights.

What is inside a SRAM RED shifter? Steel bolts weighing 23.8 g across both levers. The TiNE titanium kit is a direct bolt-for-bolt swap at 11.4 g — and it is included in the full groupset kit.

What is the difference between a titanium derailleur hanger and the stock aluminum one? Material strength, topology-optimized geometry, weight by frame brand, and whether titanium still sacrifices itself under impact.

Ordering the wrong bolt wastes time and money. This guide walks you through the three measurements that matter — diameter, thread pitch, and length — with road bike-specific examples and a quick-reference size table.

What does the TiNE SRAM RED shifter titanium bolt kit actually replace? Both left and right levers, all positions — dropping 12.4 g from the handlebar zone. Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V hardware, CNC machined, eight anodized colors.

What does the TiNE SRAM RED AXS titanium bolt kit actually replace, and how much does it save? The full kit drops 61.3 g across four subsystems — shifters, brakes, derailleur, and crank. The shifter clamp ring pair alone accounts for 22.8 g. Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V hardware installs with standard tools.
