Maybe Coating makes it rust resistant.
I heard that the Pivot pin of Gail's Wire Clutch Holder is prone to rust, so I installed this Pivot pin, which is coated with the Option.
When I put them side by side with the pin that comes with the clutch holder, I thought there was only a difference in the coating, but they also seem to be made a little differently.
As for the material, I think it is the same iron since they both stuck to the magnet equally well, but I think the one with GoldCoating is more resistant to rust.
I installed it, but since the logo is not red like the Elaborate, I felt that the gold was a little too assertive, so I decided to return to the original BlackPin and replace it when it rusts.
It would be good if the color of the Pivot pin on the Brake Side was also matched, but since we chose Black for the Brake Side as well, it seems like it is the only place on the Brake Side.
I was wondering if there is an option to use SUS instead of Titanium, like KOHKEN's Black coatPin….

Gold color Pivot pin

Was the installation difficult?
Simply loosen and replace the Pivot pin and Nut.
However, GALE SPEED's Wire Clutch Holder has a very thin washer between the holder and lever, and I almost lost it when the washer collapsed. The Pivot Pin of the early equipment seemed to be coated with Locktite and was a little hard to loosen. Early Pivot pins had bearings on the lever side and did not seem to be coated with Grease. When installing the ultra-thin washer, I applied a small amount of grease to the lever side and stuck it on while inserting the pivot pin.
How was your experience with it?
The feel is the same, but the Brembo master side has also been changed to Gold-colored Pivot, so the Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) I am very happy with the matching look.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Pin only.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None
A word of caution...do not lose your ultra-thin Washer.
