Given the purported strength of Ti, is it really possible that a heavier rider (say like me at 200 pounds) could actually break them? I'd like to get these and I struggle to believe that a pedal could really break at just 25 pounds - split two ways - above the purported limit. Then again maybe I don't understand the physics here or the properties of Ti.

Titanium is much stronger than steel or CRMO by weight IE a 100g Ti spindle is stronger than a 100g CRMO spindle, however in the case of something like these pedals Xpedo is able to make a pedal that if made with a CRMO axle of the same weight would have a weight limit of about 100# vs #175.
If you and your gear are about 200# total and you are using them for road/gravel/XC use, you probably won't have any issues, however should they break Xpedo is not going to cover them as a warranty claim.

On the XMF08TT page on their website Xpedo says "*Titanium Spindle (Max rider weight 85kg/187lbs)." Your listing says "Ti Axle weight restriction! Xpedo recommends a 175 pound rider weight limit for the Ti/Ti." As a 182 lb. rider, I'd like to know if you're stocking an older pedal with a lower weight limit, or if your page is simply out of date.

Our supplier is listing the pedals as having a 175# weight limit and they are the importer for all of these pedals sold in the US.
