Having torn-up a somewhat exotic Ti bottom bracket's aluminum end-cap back in '99 due to spindle deflection and being a lightweight team that spins in the mid-80's to mid-90's on the tandem, I've been using steel spindles ever since. In looking at the three Phil BB axle options -- Stainless, Ti, and Super-Duper Ti -- I opted to split the difference and use the stainless for the stoker's BB and the basic Ti model for my BB.
