    They'll also fit other models as long as you fit their carbon alloy sprocket....

    You are not supposed to know what's wrong.

    You're supposed to think buying those nuts will give your bike super-powers!

    Who wouldn't want to have Titanium nuts!!!

    Although Titanium will be stainless because like stainless steel it forms a passive oxidized barrier that is nanometers thin.

    Another example of a clueless Ebay seller-god bless them.

    LIKE makes it NOT the same. Titanium and Stainless are not the same. Agreed, they will act similiar but while Stainless is the high standard in most applications Titanium is a harder alloy. For me, Titanium drill bits, that'll work; screws, nuts, bolts and washers...Stainless is above average and works great.

    I think he meant it will be literally stainless, as in it won't mark or degrade like most materials :?:




    Oh, and the bolts are, apparently, for the REAR sprocket of the XS1100. I should have guessed :wink: lol maybe I should find out what chain he would recommend...

    Ti is WAY too soft to make drill bits out of.

    Did you guys ever consider the drive flange that is bolted to the rear wheel?

    ????...You're teasing right? Bosch makes them, Neiko makes them, Vulcan makes them...need more? I was taught next to diamond laced drill bits Cobalt and Titanium bits will last the longest. Of course one could argue steel and a bit sharpner. :D FWIW, I don't own/buy cobalt or titanium drill bits. I use steel.

    The "titanium" drill bits are not titanium. They are steel with a coating of TiN, titanium nitride. The coating is a thin film on the surface of steel.

    Titanium nitride is far harder than metallic titanium.

    You're thinking off the gold-ish coloured ones? that's Ti-nitride coating & is VERY durable/hard, but once worn out and you sharpen them you're back to a normal drill bit. They do work well though I like them.

    EDIT-: huh, guess we thought the same thing at the same time! :eek:

    Exactly-

    Try making a drill bit from titanium metal, and let me know how that works, lol

    My bike's made out of 3/2.5 Ti and is compliant as can be- great for shock absorption and ride quality, but not something you would want to make a drill bit out of.

    The main benefit of ti is its lightweight and strength, not its hardness.

    mtnbike,

    You're right. All drill bits have a steel base. That's why I buy steel bits. You're sharp.

    I guess it'd be rather like using a blunt steel drill bit of about 10 times the normal length, very slow going & rather springy :wink:

    Haven't you heard? It's not the size of the drill bit but the motion of the drilling.

    First thing that caught my attention is the XS11 does not have any sprockets that need nuts, its a shaft drive bike. The only sprockets are on the cam and they have bolts.
