Has anyone tried these?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOWA-DISK-ROTOR-BOLTS-SCREWS-12-PCS-GOLD-/13 0630848245?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1e6a348ef 5#ht_4185wt_1037

Seem a cheap alternative to titanium. Says they're made of steel so I'm not sure how they get them coloured or how the corrosion resistance would be

They're probably anodised if it's coloured steel. As for corrosion resistance, should be half decent I'd think.

You can't anodise steel, though. I also wonder how they get the colours. I think my mate's got some of them in the orange and they've held up well. Not much more I can really say on the subject tbh.

These might be worth a shot for a tenner.

GOYB, does your mate have those actual bolts?

Cheers

yup. Well, they were orange and said MOWA on them and the only rotor bolts MOWA make are the ones that the OP linked. Go figure Wink Smile
