i would not have the carbon fibre ones as i think they would get damaged in my kit bag i went for ali ones

i have the carbons.....they are plenty sturdy. out of the pics you posted above i'd go with the geckos, wether aluminium or carbon....the pads are far more comfortable that the older style ones

Hey the buckinghams are made out of titanium the spikes to.

 

the ones im looking at come with velcro big padding like the carbon ones.

 

any ideas.

 

With the carbon ones have you had any problems like wobbling or not gripping well slipping etc.

i think you'll find the spikes are steel

Buckinghams do a ali shank and i think the gaffs are titanium.

don't you mean bashlin,that what i use but i like the sound of those carbon ones, do they come with sorter gaffs the ones in the pic look a bit long?

These are are advertised as titanium spike and shank all titanium. but how would you compare the two plus there over 300 cost what titanium costs.
