At this rate you will not have much RR left!! The 7075 pivots balls have been known to snap in a hard crash! Ti would be better if you really must!

yes i hear people has problem with the pivot ball broken. but the most effective way is to avoid crash but not harden your car !

I've only seen them once and that was at Urban... it was a no brand label. Also it was a very long time ago when I was still running the MTX

you can ask!

Ti doesnt mean strong, if it is alloy with more aluminium on it, it is even worst.

It is useless if you set it at 50% as the fast car behind you will kiss your @ss !!

I am assuming that if the material is identified as Ti then the base metal will be Ti and not the alloying material. If this is the case then Ti should be stronger. However, descriptions can sometimes be deceiving!!!

Currently you have a piece of plastic with 2 pins which mounts onto the rear shaft. The 2 pins go through the brake disc. You have to cut a chamfer onto the side to fit without interference. 5 star and Kawa make an alloy version of this. You could argue that with the one-way you won't be doing much heavy braking but that particular part also looks pretty crap!
