I bought my friend some 3/8 x 16tpi bolts from the hardware store for his profile mini to get his bike working. On the top of the bolt it says something like "Y E 5" which was also stamped on the bolts of my other friends brand new minis. Hes now expecting me to buy him brand new bolts from profile. This being said, the bolts being completely identical, my friend is trying to convince ne theyre not the same, and profile makes their own axle bolts. Do they make their axle bolts or just buy the same hardware store bolts and put them in their volcano washers and sell them for profit?

They work just fine, but his center axle is strippes from him using the wrong size bolts. And now hes saying its because theyre not "profile bolts" so I have to buy him some now.

Your friend is an idiot. Why is it your responsibility to buy him bolts for his hubs?? Is there really a friend we are talking about or is this so called friend, you??

As long as the TPI is the same, you are good. You may not have heat treated bolts but as long as they are grade 8, same TPI , theres nothing to worry about. Just be sure to purchase ones just as long as the original or close to it.

Your friend is a moron.

Chances are they get their bolts wholesale from a supplier. Probably the same ones you got. If his axle was stripped, it is not your fault.

Because hes trying to put the blame on me. I spent a whole day fixing his bike, getting him the parts he needed, and now he wwants me to get him "profile bolts". Hes being the biggest jerk. He wont be considered my friend anymore. Whole point of this post is to rub it in his face that he has the same bolts that profile hubs come with anyway and theres nothing wrong with them.
