    Titanium Nipples from Titan Wheel Technologies

    I just learned about a new company that sells Titanium Nipples:

    http://www.titanwheeltech.com

    They're supposed to be lighter and stronger than brass or alloy nipples, but I'm mostly interested in the added strength because my wheels take a beating when I race cyclo-cross. I'm also told that titanium is basically immune to corrosion, so I'm thinking about building my next race wheelset with them. Any thoughts?

    I am semi interesting in these as well, $1 a nib does up teh price but they do appear to be resistant to corrosion and harder the strip out.

    This guy seems to be obsessed with nipples of the titianium persuasion:

    Love the idea but for a buck a piece?
    I have a stash of rims and hubs (4 sets) waiting to be built for next year.
    I know it is just money but at 64 dollars/set wow.

    it appears that the smell of shill is wafting around.

    I'm guessing he'll disappear for another few months now that he's been outed.
