Unique Finish Note:

Some of our Ultra Low charcoal coloured stock have a unique quality, they have an oil slick type colour at the bottom of the hex in either a red or green hue or a combo of the two. We like the look! It's caused by a rare event we cannot control during the PVD process. The artificial lightning that turns the solid titanium puck into gas sometimes generates an extra flash of hot plasma. The nice oil slick type colour at the bottom of the hex is where that plasma, that extra little bit of titanium has settled. They all vary slightly, some have more colour, some have less colour but they are all very much alike.

We’ve like matched pairs pending the hue in the middle of the hex.

We offer a Charcoal w Red Plasma Variant, and a Charcoal w Green Plasma Variant. Offered should you wish, you can curate your build down to this detail. A small green or magenta dot on the packaging will let you know which variant is inside.

The standard normal unaffected Charcoal colour way is also offered.

Assembly / Installation:

• Prototipo Works strongly recommends the use of a lithium based anti seize assembly lubricant during the installation of our hardware. An anti seize assembly lubricant helps prevent seizing, galling, cold-welding, and the fusing of metal on metal threaded components. Ideal for salty environments, humid environments, in the presence of water, moisture, sweat and ingress.

• Please ensure all mating threads and installation tools are the correct size, are clean, free of damaging burrs and inserted straight.

• Maximum Torque 3-5Nm. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

• If unsure if it will fit correctly on your bicycle, please contact us.
