Got my high tensile shoulder bolts earlier as the calliper mount is an 8mm thread and the fork mount is a 10mm hole. Anyone have a clue if a black high tensile bolt like this will take a bright zinc coating to stop it from rusting down the line?

I always try and find out from manufacturers data the tyre diameter, dimensional width, aspect ratio etc, then set about choosing a tread pattern. Small details but it sets the overall proportions and lends itself to the style.......Ive seen some great builds engineering wise, but then the wheel/tyre sizes dont match or the tyre tread pattern is not in keeping with the look? Its personal choice the end of the day, and your in charge
Here's an example.nice bike, great bit of engineering........but slightly less "balloon" tyres and it'll look the dogs.................just looks like that moon buggy out of James Bond, Moonraker film ....hit one pot hole on that and the front tyre be saying hello to the frame or exhaust
