Centerlock-to-six-bolt adapter converts six-bolt rotors to centerlock hubs. TiNE titanium lock rings: outer 5.5g (for six-bolt conversion), inner 4.6g (for direct centerlock), roughly half the weight of steel (~10-12g). Step-by-step install guide covering hub identification, lock ring selection, and spline thread care.

Flush mount bolts appear on stem face plates, derailleur hangers, and seat clamp collars. Steel bolts tend to seize in aluminum. TiNE Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V stem bolts (2.0-3.3g each) resist seizing far better than steel. M5 hanger bolt upgrade also available. 8 anodized colors.
