I have all AlloyBoltz show polished stainless on my bike. Install was easy enough but stainless is way too soft for repeated assembly/disassembly. I already had to replace all the primary bolts.

I have a feeling the alloyboltz are not grade5 or 8, thats probably why they wear out and why I havent bought any yet. Anyones you use be sure to use never seeze or moly lube. I was thinking of going Feuling or the diamond engineering brand. Both are stronger than grade 8.
