Two sets of EB's here - Candy stainless and regular chrome. No issues with the Candy's (some play developed when the bike fell over once, I just tightened down that outer cap).
The Chrome ones developed some play and I opened up the cap, made sure the locknut was tight then tightened down the outer cap. I periodically check the outer cap for looseness.
Bikesdirect on eBay sells eggbeaters at ridiculoously cheap prices, even for the Ti ones. Check them. I bought my Candy's for $50, $60 shipped. The Triple or Double Ti's were 130?
