Titanium cassette: long life?
OK, a ti. cassette will be lighter than steel. But will it have a longer
life? Does Ti. wear better (less) than steel under similar riding styles?
Other pros & cons?
Thanks.

Yes, I've heard that there's a world of difference between the 5's and 7's.
Nothing but praise for 7's and little of it for 5's.
