The DYAG font is this one ↑. I get the impression the yellow type is something recent.

There’s no point letting it rot in a drawer, so I’m going to apply it. By the way, the rear is Campagnolo, so I can only apply it to the front.

It feels kind of satisfying, or maybe not… anyway, for now.

How long has it been sitting… The tires are actually “Alpha 10” and haven’t even been ridden 1,000 kilometers.

I’m removing all the titanium bolts, including the temporary ones. The pan head in titanium just feels wrong. Disc rotor bolts get replaced every time anyway, so I think original iron ones are fine.

I finally found a nice size in Kawasaki OEM. It’s a great time to be able to search on the web.

The recent OEM bolts look pretty cool.

I’m switching the caliper bolts back to iron too. Titanium requires too much care, so I’m going to switch back to iron.

Oh, I could make the axle 20 mm diameter. If I machine the other side… but if I start doing this, it’ll get postponed again, so let’s put it on the future plan.

I’ll remove it again when I change the tire, but for now the front is good to go.
