Box One Titanium Brake Posts

Product Overview

The Box One Titanium Brake Posts are lightweight fasteners designed for MTB and BMX frames with v-brake boss mounts. These M10x1.25 titanium posts secure v-brake calipers to frame bosses while minimizing weight at just 11 grams per pair. Each set includes Ti-Prep lubricant to prevent seizure and requires only an 8mm wrench for installation.

Key Features

• Titanium construction – Advanced lightweight material reduces frame weight without sacrificing strength or durability; natural finish resists corrosion
• Minimal weight penalty – 11 grams per pair supports weight-conscious builds while maintaining structural integrity for brake system forces
• Universal v-brake compatibility – M10x1.25 specification fits most MTB and BMX frames with standard v-brake boss mounts
• Seizure prevention included – Ti-Prep lubricant packet prevents titanium galling and seizure during installation and future removal; critical for titanium fasteners
• Simple installation – Requires only 8mm open-ended wrench; no specialized tools or complex procedures necessary
• Durable natural finish – Titanium's inherent corrosion resistance eliminates need for additional coatings; maintains appearance across seasons and weather conditions
• Reusable fasteners – Titanium durability allows multiple installation/removal cycles without degradation or stripping

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

• Frame type: MTB and BMX frames with v-brake boss mounts (M10x1.25 specification)
• Brake systems: Mechanical v-brake calipers; not compatible with hydraulic or cantilever brake systems
• Best for: Weight-conscious builds, riders upgrading from steel fasteners, performance-focused MTB and BMX setups, and those prioritizing minimal rotating mass
• Installation requirement: Apply Ti-Prep lubricant to threads before installation; prevents seizure and enables future removal without damage
• Removal: Use 8mm wrench to back out posts; Ti-Prep ensures easy removal even after extended use
• Maintenance: Monitor bolt tightness periodically; v-brake bosses subject to vibration-induced loosening under braking loads
• Torque specification: Follow frame manufacturer recommendations for proper fastening torque (typically 8-10 Nm for v-brake posts)
• Ideal use cases: Lightweight build optimization, frame upgrades from steel fasteners, and riders combining components for minimal system weight
• Note: Titanium's properties (strength, corrosion resistance, weight) justify premium pricing; Ti-Prep inclusion critical for long-term reliability; do not reuse without fresh Ti-Prep application; confirm M10x1.25 specification matches your frame boss mounts before purchase
