That's interesting.
I had considered changing the carbon sleeve for a titanium one, which I deemed would be strong enough to be able to do without any rivet bands.
To that end,I did in fact buy a titanium sleeve but when it arrived it turned out to be slightly larger than the original carbon sleeve, meaning that it didn't fit the endcaps properly.
I toyed with the notion of fitting some sort of gasket strip to take up the difference but it all got too messy and I abandoned the plan.
