    $39 for a Titanium Manix bearing cage doesn't sound bad.

    This was in an email they sent out a few days ago. I have a silver ti due to deliver Monday. I do have a slight concern with long term use though, Ti against steel could equal galling. Not sure if it will be an issue here though.

    Ceramic BBs for the Manix are easy to purchase and fairly cheap.

    You can buy them on line.

    3/16ths is what you need.

    Got mine this morning, fit & finish is well done, no issues putting it in, only perceptible difference to me is the Ti is slightly grippier. Not unhappy with it, I kind of expected very little difference in the movement. More or less a solution to a problem that didn't exist, definitely cooler then the black plastic, $40 cooler, that is probably the best question to ask yourself!

    So I got my two titanium cages in. They feel really good. The jumping is more aggressive than the stock one. I also noticed they are both a little gritty but I suspect this will smooth out. It almost feels like it’s the ball is turning inside the cage while it closes that causes the gritty feel. Over all I am happy with they way they look and feel.

    My M4 Manix2 has the clear plastic one. I know Spyderco will replace it if there's a problem; but I might grab one of these.

    Got mine this morning, well made and i was interested in how they did the spring pin .
    Mine is going in the box as a backup. If and when the stock one brakes . Then i will switch it out and i hope that is never !
