Aluminum is a great metal for certain things. But making damn BOLTS out of aluminum, one of the softest metals known to man is a dumb ass idea. Sincerly, the person that's trying to get your piece of shit engineering off of his bike!

No the worst is some one threading steel bolts into 4mm aluminium plate. Fuck you Renault.

Man, I told you not to mess with that Cramp-and-go-slow shit. To be fair, thats pretty common to do aluminum bolts, sounds like this batch wasn't properly heat treated though.

BMW had to do that with the Magnesium block N52 6 cylinder. Magnesium and steel would have caused galvanic corrosion (amongst other phenomena).
I've found at least two stickers on my Z4 exhorting that any twisting of an Aluminum bolt on the N52 or accessories necessitates complete replacement of the bolt in question. Because not just is it aluminum, but also TTY for some applications (example Aluminum head to Magnesium block/Aluminum water jacket).

Oh you mean the initial D of cycling? Yeah, I'm up to episode 24. It's not great but it's entertaining. Also the main character is my soul animal! Lol

Oh yeah, I completely agree. However one of the main characters rides a Pinarello Dogma with full Campagnolo parts and Campagnolo g3 (I'm guessing Shamal) wheels. Pretty much my dream bike.

Those crazy Italians. They probably saves an eighth of a gram by using aluminum there.
