Aerostich Titanium tyre iron (lever)
 
Has anyone used these items? are they any good?
I know they are expensive, but is the weight saved worth the extra cost?
They weigh 4.4 ounces (125 grams) a pair.
Thanks

Have a look Jim Stanley's offering first. Ti irons but with some axle nut sockets built in. Half the price too!

I bought some of Jim's irons. Sod's law - I haven't had a single puncture since. Most of my mates have borrowed mine on the trail though, and they work just fine.

Thanks for that Cugel, are they flat or shaped? it's difficult to tell from the photo.
I like the idea of the integral spanner.

Hi Bill,

Not completely flat - I'll take a pic end-on tomorrow in the daylight and email to you. Alternatively, you are not far from me, so have a go sometime if you want. I'm in Moseley, S. Birmingham. Next time I'm up your way is 21st Feb - going riding in the Peaks. Could drop in to Stoke if neccessary. I need to go over to DK Motorcycles anyway.

Mike
