BTW--for years they have been "crash bolts"--any guesses as to why?

The smaller diameter means are torqued less tightly, meaning they support lesser loads--and because they are not as strong they stretch, and come loose, and should be checked every 10k miles or so. After they have stretched for a while they will eventually snap after you have re-torqued them 5 or 6 times.

Which is good 'cause otherwise they would snap while you were driving...

Other than that they are great...

They make CC plates because they are safer and a far superior way to correct alignment problems than using inherently weaker bolts of unknown material and manufacture.

If you want to lower a new-edge 2" or more, and do it properly, use drop-spindles:



Safe, Cheap, Fast--pick any two.
