SALT BMX BOLT KIT OIL SLICK

The Salt BMX Bolt Kit (V2 Hardware Pack) in Oil Slick is the ultimate all-in-one upgrade to refresh your bike's hardware while adding a high-end custom aesthetic. Engineered from high-tensile chromoly steel, this kit replaces your worn, rounded, or rusted factory hardware with robust components designed to survive the heavy impacts of street, park, and dirt riding. Every steel component undergoes a specialized plating process to produce the signature "oil slick" rainbow finish, ensuring that no two kits are identical.

This comprehensive kit takes the guesswork out of color-coordinating your build. It includes six precision-threaded M8 stem bolts (four for your faceplate and two for the steer tube clamp) that are fully compatible with Salt, SaltPlus, and most standard modern BMX stems. To lock down your wheels, the pack provides two 3/8-inch (10mm) front axle nuts and two heavy-duty 14mm rear axle nuts with matching washers. To finish off the look, a pair of lightweight, color-matched alloy valve caps are included to protect your inner tubes from trail grime and dust, giving your build a clean, professional appearance from the handlebars down to the dropouts.

Key Features

• High-Tensile Chromoly Construction: The axle nuts and stem bolts are forged from premium CrMo steel to resist stripping, stretching, and shearing under high torque loads.

• Complete Hardware Refresh: Provides all the core external hardware needed to overhaul your cockpit and wheel retention in a single color-matched box.

• Unique Oil Slick Finish: Coated in a brilliant, light-reflective iridescent rainbow plating that transforms the look of any standard matte or gloss frame.

• Universal Stem Compatibility: Includes six M8 bolts designed to fit seamlessly into Salt, SaltPlus, and the vast majority of modern metric BMX top-load and front-load stems.

• Optimised Axle Sizing: Features industry-standard 10mm (3/8-inch) front and 14mm rear thread pitches, ensuring a perfect fit on standard freestyle hub axles.

• Alloy Valve Caps Included: Comes complete with anodized aluminum valve caps to safeguard your tubes and complete the custom, coordinated aesthetic.

✅ Why This IS For You

• Custom Bike Builders: The perfect way to inject a vibrant pop of color into a stealthy black or raw frame build without paying for expensive component overhauls.

• Riders with Rounded Bolts: Ideal if your current stem faceplate bolts are starting to slip or rust from sweat, rain, and repeated tool adjustments.

• Street and Park Shredders: Forged from rugged chromoly steel to ensure your handlebars stay perfectly clamped when pulling up hard or landing deep.

• Detail-Oriented Builders: Great if you appreciate cohesive styling, as it unifies the look of your front end, rear dropouts, and wheels simultaneously.

❌ Why This May NOT Be For You

• Weight-Saving Specialists: If you are building a ultra-lightweight BMX race bike, you may want to look into minimalist titanium hardware rather than heavy-duty steel.

• Alternative Axle Setups: If your bike runs modern female hubs with 10mm internal bolts on both the front and rear, the traditional 14mm male axle nuts in this kit will go unused.

• Scratch-Sensitive Riders: The oil slick plating is highly resilient but can show cosmetic scuffs, tool marks, or scratching over time if you frequently grind on pegs or drop your bike.

BFC Pro Tip

To protect the brilliant oil slick finish from getting ruined during installation, never use a loose, worn, or low-quality hex key on the stem bolts. Always use a brand-new, sharp 6mm Allen key and ensure it is pushed completely to the bottom of the bolt head before applying torque. For the axle nuts, use a 6-point socket wrench instead of a 12-point socket or an adjustable spanner—this maximizes surface contact and ensures you won't round off the vibrant rainbow edges when tightening your wheels down!
