TI wheel/rotor-hat spacers?

Post by j-c-c »

Anybody see any downside(s) besides cost to using Grade5 Ti spacers?

I need to gain .050" of offset to center radial mounted caliper to get perfectly centered, if its that important in the first place, seems like a Ti spacer would insulate a bit on the brake heat getting from the alum hat into the alum hub/bearing, which IMO is not over sized, vs say steel or alum spacer, and be lighter than SS.

Modifying the caliper mounting bracket is not acceptable in this application.

IMO the use of a Ti spacer would be the best choice of material for that purpose.
I doubt you'll see any thermal difference.
