Traditionally, mountain cleats have only had two material options. Mild steel and brass. This has largely been to ensure that the cleat wore out faster than the pedal interface, but has left us with cleats that are often times very fast wearing, and in all cases, are quite heavy.?Enter 6/4 Titanium, only slightly less hard than tool or spring steel used in the pedals, it's a remarkable 2.25 times stronger and 3 times harder than brass or mild steel. Best of all, the extreme toughness and abrasion resistance of 6Al/4V titanium means that you can expect 300-400% wear life compared to traditional materials.?Now the Silca team couldn't just stop there. By combining 3D printing technology with this material that is 1/3 lighter than steel, they are able to achieve a cleat with internal lattice structure (called a gyroid) which maintains stiffness and strength while reducing weight to create a cleat set that is half the weight of a standard cleat set.?This savings of 25-30 grams per set of cleats is significant over time, particularly in CX events where running is crucial.Key Features:25gm reduction x 100 rpm = 180kg of mass not lifted per hour of riding, 90kg per leg!,Key features,Shimano SPD 24g, 30g lighter than stock,Crank Brothers 22g, 24g lighter than stock,Time 22g, 26g lighter than stock,6V/4AL Titanium,3D Printed in Indianapolis,4x life expectancy of brass.
Since 1917 all Silca pumps have used steam pressure-formed leather cup washers to achieve high pressures. The 731 (formally 73.1) is the classic 28mm diameter washer used on pumps produced between 1917 and 2008. In 2008, Pista and SuperPista pumps moved from steel barrels with 28mm inner diameter, to aluminium barrels with 30mm diameter. The 741 (formally 74.1) Leather Washer fits all 2008 and later pumps with 30mm inner diameter.Since the 1960's all SILCA leather washers have come from the same leather converting house in the fashion district of Milan, Italy. For more than 5 decades the same supplier has cut these washers from the excess material left over from the production of exotic handbags, Italian luxury cars interiors, and high-fashion luggage. A small press is used to hand cut and then pressure form these washers from pieces of leather otherwise sent to the trash. Silca receives these parts by the hundred and it is always fun to sift through them looking at the various finishes and textures while thinking about the exotic sports car interior, $2000 briefcase, or handcrafted luggage sets from which they share history.From a purely functional standpoint, inexpensive o-rings are most commonly used in this application, but no o-ring can match the smooth feel and zero-stiction action of a leather gasket. It is common today to find Silca leather gasket pumps throughout the professional peloton (especially during the spring classics) as o-ring seal pumps struggle with heat and often are unable to seal once the pump barrel is hot from inflating more than a few wheels.Key Features731 Fits 28mm internal diameter Pista and Super Pista pumps (pre-2008),741 Fits 30mm internal diameter Pista and Super Pista pumps (post-2008),Made from finest quality full grain leather,Produced by hand on the same equipment continuously since 1960,NEW!
