Why your next derailleur hanger should not be aluminum — the Eclos titanium hanger uses topology optimization and Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V for a precision component that holds alignment.

The Darimo Nexum is held together by two M4×16 bolts — and they're the only thing keeping your bar attached to the steerer. TiNE's titanium replacements save 2.2-3.2 g per pair, match OEM shoulder/head profile exactly, and come in 8 anodized colors. Is it safe? Here's the full breakdown.

The Tarmac SL8/SL9 has a non-round stem cap shape — a universal round cap won't fit. TiNE's purpose-built titanium top cap at 6.0 g matches the aero contour, is roughly half the weight of the stock plastic piece, and completes the titanium cockpit stack.

The headset top cap is the most overlooked part on a road bike — it sits at the top of the steerer, only preloads bearings, yet weighs 10-15 g in aluminum. TiNE's topology-optimized titanium cap drops to 4.2 g with bionic rib structure, fits most 1-1/8" steerers, and never corrodes.

Upgraded your CeramicSpeed pulley wheels but still running steel bolts? TiNE titanium pulley bolts drop to 1.9 g (old cage) or 2.4 g (new cage) per set of 4, saving 1.7-2.8 g. The critical detail: alternate torque 1.0 and 0.3 Nm. Here's the step-by-step.

Disc brake spacers (caliper mounts) position the brake caliper at the correct distance from the rotor. Stock aluminum mounts weigh roughly 14.2g (SL8/S5). TiNE titanium: SL8/S5 front mount at 5.9g (saving ~8.3g), standard flat-mount at 7.5g. FAQ covers brake feel, compatibility, and front-end weight perception.

Stem bolts matter for safety and weight. TiNE titanium M6 stem bolts (2.0–3.3 g each) in four lengths, Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V, 8 colors.

Rotating weight at the crank matters more than you think. TiNE titanium crank cap sets for GP-3/Cybrei and SRAM DUB save up to 5.6 g in 8 anodized colors.

The pivot bolt secures your rear derailleur to the hanger. Learn what it does, how much it weighs across Shimano groupsets, and how TiNE titanium saves up to 6.4 g.
