Are titanium quick release axles safe/worth it?
I kissed the tarmac last Sunday. All good but a couple of scratches on my left cheek and knee, and a badly damaged rear quick release axle (my helmet saved my head once again, that's another story). The rough tarmac ate the aluminum locking handle of it.
I got to my LBA to get a new one and I had just two options, a cheap €3 one and a €15 titanium one. I opted for the titanium, but I have been reading now that steel is more durable than titanium. Is it worth replacing it again? How safe is it? I am riding a road bike.
