Anyone using Titanium Sprockets?

Shift · 11-23-2008, 05:23 PM

Just curious if anyone has used them on your bike? Obviously I wouldn't run them at the track with all the extra unsprung weight. But I was thinking about having a set to use on the street seeing as how I put almost 20k miles a year on the bike it would be nice to have a "sprocket for life" and not having to worry about ever buying a new one. Comments? Thoughts?

Ti sprockets would be lighter than their steel counterparts.... Are you saying you wouldn't run stock sprockets at the track?

Ok... and the weight difference between an aluminum sproket and a titanium sprocket is what? Maybe a couple ounces?

couple of OZ's is a lot when its in motion like that.

honestly, though, unless you've got your own race squad and a crew to calibrate your bike who the fuck cares what sprocket you're using at the track man? theres so much more to worry about than a couple extra ounces at the wheel.

lose 10lbs and that's more weight then you can save with a sprocket
