Rusty fasteners

Bicycles Asked by Jerr on December 13, 2020

I changed bolts on my Jamis steel framed bike because they were rusty. Within 4 days they rusted again.

The derailleur is not rusty. This bike is stored in a dry building along with another bike that is not rusty. After I changed the bolts the second time I stored it on our porch under the roof. They rusted again.

One Answer

Where are you getting the bolts from? Most local hardware /big box store sell what would be considered low quality hardware. I would suggest either sourcing stainless steel replacement hardware or cleaning and painting your current replacements. Some hardware has unique features in particular stem clamping bolts tend to have a slightly smaller head than standard.
