I did see that Calfee offers the stainless steel couplers also. Is the only functional difference the weight? I guess there's a chance of rust on the steel, but I thought that I'd ask. Any reason NOT to go for steel? Thanks, Steve Post Extras: Jeff friend Reged: 01/29/04 Posts: 68 Re: Stainless Steel S&S Couplers on Tetra?

They work great just take care when packing the frame so you don't damage the carbon by having parts rub on each other. I have a Kirk road frame and a Moots MTB with S&S couplers and really like them. I think a steel or Ti frame makes more sense for a travel bike just because of the additional abuse they can and will take. Post Extras: Pages: 1
