Eclat bondi rims, aro and straight wall, brought these at first expecting them to last a long time, over a year later both the front and rear had cracked along the welded seem, over all a strong rim while they lasted and they remained completely true but over all very disappointed in them as the front had had comparatively very little abuse.

Eclat tibia cranks, Simple, Strong & light, been running mine for nearly a year and a half with out any problems at all, little bit of locktite on the bolt and you will never have to even worry about them coming lose either. would recommend to anyone

Redline device cranks:

Amazing cranks, especially for the price. These have held up to my riding for about a year with no problems. They do need tightening every once in a while, but that's not a problem. They're light, cheap, and strong, any they go on and come off the bike fairly easily.
Another thing worth mentioning, the paint has only just now started wearing off the arms a little, after almost a year! That's pretty good, considering I rub the sides of my shoes on the cranks when I pedal.
Overall, nice cranks, and more than worth the money. I give them a 9/10 just because of them needing tightening sometimes. 9/10

Locktite the bolts and they'll hold on for ages longer. Make sure to use blue not red.
is locktite safe for titanium spindle and titanium bolt that keeps gettin loose.. i mite of asked u before but i forget Razz

The rims have been alright for me and I'm very very rough on my rims mostly front and this Eclat rounded wall has been... shit, I'll never get another.

Im pretty sure it'll be fine for Ti. Don't use it on the spindle though, just the bolts.

Sherb: I tried that, and it did increase the time to about 3 months, instead of like 2 weeks. Lol.

Do NOT use locktite on ti. Ti will seize to steel easily enough. I would suggest ti prep.

Remember the bolts thread onto the spindle.

Anyway, back on topic.
Kink Lynx bars
Amazing bars. These have taken abuse really well. I've only had em for about 5 months, so no idea how they'll last, but I love them. They feel nice, and are about the lightest bars out there, if you're into light parts.

It's all about personal preference.
