i just ordered my drain bolt from john (really nice guy) let me say this ''consider the titanium drain bolts as a update. the stock aluminum( small dia. head )will eventually round off on you; the titanium will not becouse of its hardness, plus it is trick to have titanium on your quad with function!!!thanks again john for making these :clap: :usa , mark palmer

WHAT?? :wow Is it me or does that seem expensive??? I'm not flaming here, but since I am new to the cannondale world, I'm not sure on prices.

I am sure that the stock bolts will eventually strip, but is there anything cheaper I could replace them with??

Aluminum is cheaper and you can get those as well.. titanium in any sense isn't cheap and I'm sure machining it isn't easy. The aluminum I would think you could eventually round off. I don't think you could the titanium. So even if they are 2x as much as aluminum ones, if you end up buying 2 or 3 sets of aluminum or 1 set of titanium it all equals out or you end up ahead in the game. I at first thought the price was steep but after thinking about it, they are probably worth it, considering how many oil changes these bikes require. But if you are looking for a cheaper alternative I believe you can find aluminum ones that are stronger than the stockers around as well. Like they say, ya get whatcha pay for. Useful titanium just = :cool:

Kyle Ray at R&S has some too, they are a little cheaper I think. (Probobly not too much cheaper than $20.00) Kyles are a harder aluminum than stock with a hard coating on them to prevent galling. They are black too!

I'm going to make some up in stainless and mild steel also. the price will be less than the titanium ones. the stainless ones won't rust and I am considering chroming the mild steel ones (depends on how much the plater wants. I will post later this week.
