having only one brake lever will be an important factor for the Ventus II aerodynamics I reckon

Have you seen these ? Possible marginal gain for those empty handlebar/extension ends :-)

Have you considered taking this on?

PS Double-ended Torx, UT specific, single 3/32" chainring bolts, if you're at a loose end plz.

Yeah - nice solution but I'd only need one for road work, I use SRAM racing grips on the extensions. I have a load of the little round plugs so would probably just use one on the left base bar grip

Have you considered taking this on?

I'll probably eventually get some done for my extensions, but it's not a priority project.

Not going to happen, they'd be stupidly expensive.

What order of magnitude 'stupidly expensive' for say 100pcs?

I found someone on eBay who was turning out Ti bits & bobs, including chainring bolts: I'll see if I can find him again...

Not even sure you could sensibly do Torx on both sides, the driver socket core ends up smaller than the pilot bore for the thread, and with short nuts for single ring you don't have enough length to get both good tool engagement and good thread engagement. Not sure what BBB do with the BCR-53C. The skinny BCR-54C ones for carbon Campag have Torx both sides so I suppose you could go with full width nuts and thin screws to make something to fit the aluminium cranks.

Pricing? Depends whether you mean 100pcs or 100 sets. Even for 100 sets (i.e. 400 bolts + 400 nuts + 100 'hidden' 5th screws), I'd be surprised if I could get them for under £50 a set in A4 stainless steel or 7075T6 aluminium. For one set in 6Al4V Ti you'd probably be looking at ~£300

Probolt do Ti single ring bolts with a Allen key bolt and a hex (10mm AF) nut for ~£40 a set, I've got a set in my parts bin.

Ti bolts worth it for chainring? If you're the WW type wouldn't ALU be better and if you're me and prefer durability, steel?

Ti bolts worth it for chainring?

Probably worth it if you're in a bad area for corrosion, otherwise as you say both steel and aluminium work fine at much lower prices.

thx tester, you are a venerable font..

Like Comic Sans, yeah?

Any base bar suggestions, with as much variability in positions for fine-tuning, please. For longer distance TTs...
I see those 3T upthread and they may be a bit overkill for my lack of power... But they're tempting.
Thoughts on a postcard.

These. I have most of a set going spare, but Scilly might still have dibs.

Let me know if Scilly doesn't take them and I'll have 'em.
And cheers for suggestions.

I'm cash-strapped ATM and should probably get a frame first, so all yours!
