Double Chainring Bolt — TiNE Titanium Opposed-Lock 2.0g Pair

A pair of steel chainring bolts weighs roughly 10-12g — five times heavier than TiNE's titanium opposed-lock pair at 2.0g. Five bolt pairs on a standard 110 BCD spider adds up fast, and that weight sits at the farthest point from the bottom bracket axle.

Double-Sided Hex — Tighten From Both Sides

Standard chainring bolts use a slotted nut — a flathead screwdriver slips on torque. TiNE's double-sided hex places a socket on both bolt head and nut. Two 5mm Allen keys work opposite each other for clean torque. The opposed-lock thread centers the bolt pair in the chainring tab bore.

Full Set Math & Installation

Five pairs on a 110 BCD spider: TiNE 10g versus roughly 50-60g steel, saving roughly 40-50g from the rotating assembly. Clean the chainring tab bores before install, thread each pair hand-tight, then torque in a star pattern to roughly 5-8 Nm with two 5mm Allen keys. Eight anodized finishes: Gold, Blue, Rainbow, Silver, Black, Pink, Green, and Multicolor. Hex socket interior stays raw titanium if anodizing wears off tool faces.
