    The new ones will have proper bearing unlike the ones from previous years and come with a 5 year gauantee. Make sure they are 2012/3 model. The older models did not last too long I should know I used them for years and went through many pairs.

    Egg beaters however are great pedal, light, easy to slip in and out of and they never clog up. I have just put an old set that is still work on my race bike for the above reasons. When they die I which they will they will be replaced by the ones you want to get. I like them that much even though they used to have (and may still have) reliability issues.

    There isn't a 2ti any more, anything with a designation like that is the old style. The new ones are 1, 2, 3 and 11. The only ones to use any ti parts are the 11, and if you can get them under £100 stock up, and let me know where from.

    I've had some old SLs which I fitted ti axles to for about 4 years now and they've been perfect, been rebuilt a few times, but never let me down. Plenty of people had problems with the bearing collapsing and then the body coming off though.

    I've broke/seen so many break now, in catastrophic ways that i would actively discourage anyone from buying them.

    Mine nearly took my leg off on a trail in the alps.
