You can buy these cheap from your local iron mongeries, dont use any other places as it will cost you a bomb.
I changed them all on my RS2000, just done them bit by bit as there was loads of diff 1's i needed, cost me about £15 in total for them all, and about a week of ... Ah ill do that aswell lol

You CAN get them in hex head and Allen/socket head from Screwfix.com ­ Where the Trade Buys packs of 10 or more: Search Page

You can also go to a local bolt and nut stockist, found via Yell.com the UK's local search engine - search for UK businesses where you'll be able to buy as many as you need and as few as one at a time.

SOME bolts can also be replaced with alloy ones, but be aware that changing to stainless, and ESPECIALLY alloy, don't change any that are high-torque applications as the tensile strength of stainless is less than mild steel, so they could snap.

I've done this on mountain bikes, even replacing disc-rotor bolts with titanium ones for the price.

I've also done quite a few on the Scoob as I remove 'em, buying locally. The stockist knows me now and I get good prices, even a few for free if I only want, say, two.
