I use Profile for racing
 and Wethepeople royals on my park bike they run the same spindle as a profile,
 but I'm sure they're lighter arms and have been great  for the last 12 months  :)

I think I'll stick with the Profiles! Would it be wise to get the Ti axle as i don't just do flatland - far from it in fact - but I'm not hard on my landings....

Better to stick with the std. axle for strengths sake?

if anything the ti axle is stronger,

i've had mine for nearly 5 years and the splines are all still straight as a die :daumenhoch:

its one of the only parts on the bike that genuinely benefits from being made from titanium, compare the weights :LolLolLolLol:

make sure you use ti prep when you fit it though, between any part of it the comes into contact with steel :daumenhoch:

sorry bill i was being a flashpants again,

its just copper grease mate :daumenhoch:

its stops galvanic corrosion, where the 2 metals weld themselves together,

Fook, I`d better start using that then, I`ve got 4 ti axles on the go at the moment on various bikes, and none with any copper grease on  :idiot2:

I think the cranks come with the stuff - I was wondering what the "special grease included" was! Thanks for the heads up.
Ti axle it is then!

It's a good shout to build everything with some copper grease on the surfaces, it stops all forms of corrosion, will haveten shut up a creaky crank and also allows for a better and more equal tightening of stuff - like stem bolts for example  ;)
