[...] looking to shave some weight or maybe even just clean up the look of your bike with our Volcano Bolts, this kit would be a great upgrade for your Ratchet. Hit up the mail-orders or your local bike shop [...]

hey George.

are these bolts as strong as regular gsport bolts (with that 17mm hex)?
and if so, are gsport bolts stronger than some regular 12.9 grade bolts? (for example, ones that come stock with superstar overdrive hubs)

thanks.

It is not recommended to use these with a peg. (ie. it will be difficult to get them tight enough to hold a peg, especially with the added difficulty of getting the key down the peg)

If there is no peg then they are ideal. If you use these on the non-peg side of a hub that IS running a peg, then they should be OK, but if you hit the peg hard enough you might be able to shift the other side, though I doubt it.

There is a 3/8″ bolted aluminium axle for the Ratchet due out very soon, and you WILL be able to use these with that. (assuming you arent running pegs) and it will save around 3.5 ounces overall.

figured out the answer to my own question… ratchet is 14mm not 3/8… sorry for being an idiot. anyway i would like to see them for the ratchet some time soon. and to the charly guy… obviously you could run them on one side as long as its not your peg side. you would even have a spare given that they sell them in sets of two.

It was made with Odyssey and G-Sport hubs in mind. The fact it works with others is just a bonus. Why should they cater to your wants when you’re not even running their hub?

It’s a BRIEF list of some of the more popular hubs it’s compatible with and by no means is it comprehensive. There are plenty of other hubs out there which use 3/8″, 24tpi inbound bolts, such as Tree hubs, which have already been mentioned in the comments.

If the list of compatible hubs is 7 hubs long consisting of 5 ‘different companies’, and the list of incompatible hubs is 6 hubs long consisting of 6 ‘different companies,’ I’m not sure saying ‘compatible with most inbound hubs’ is all that accurate. 54% isn’t exactly most, it’s a lot closer to half.

But hey, at least they look cool! :)
