Greg- I think you are missing out on something, and no matter how many examples I come up with, I think I would still be short. Instead, go get a campy SR rear deailluer hanger bolt and an NR rear derailluer hanger bolt. then get the biggest sledge hammer you can find, and using the best equal force you can muster, smash each of the bolts as hard as you can. If the SR Ti bolt smashes any how, way, or manner similar to the NR bolt, send me the bolts and I will personally send you a free NOS SR bolt and NR bolt. If the SR doesn't smash like the NR, I will take it, $100 of your funds, and you can keep the smashed steel bolt. Sound good? Let me know. Cheers, Dave "I told you so" Anderson
