Feel free to post your contrary opinion
Price: P100/piece
Finish: naked ti with coating, extra deep torx head
Specs: obviously tailored for MTBs, no hit & miss factor in terms of fit
Weight Saved : forgot notes, will update later
Why I bought it: lowest price in the market, and was curious about
what the ruckus is all about.
After two trail rides, submersion in water & mud, and the reglamentary UP spin...not bad at all.
Despite the absence of loctite, the bolts are still secure upon checkups before every ride.
Comparatively, other brands are more expensive and you have to bring your rig so they can saw, de-burr or file the bolts.
Provisionally, it's a good buy if you can spare the dough. I only have one bike so she really gets my attention.

make sure you put anti-seize on the bolts so the ti doesn't bond with the aluminum.

@brad mawie, flipnidaho was spot on. lotctite has a grease variant with copper...so does keywin & bike power (got this as a free sachet when i bought my bearings). i will check at ace hardware later if they have since they do carry loctite.
