PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) bolts.
PEEK is an advanced engineering thermoplastic, generally regarded as one of the highest performing materials in the world. The continuous maximum service temperature of peek is 250°C, at which point most other plastics would undergo significant melting, deformation or degradation. PEEK feautures a tensile strength of 110MPa and Modulus of Elasticity of 5GPa (much stronger and stiffer than conventional plastics), with a density of only 1.3 g/cm³ (less than half that of aluminium). Suitable for water bottle cages and other applications where safety is non-critical. M3 & M4 sizes now available, ideal for lightweight derailleur limit screws.
