its going to make more of a difference than a Ti frame imo.




Why do you think so?

I've always heard that the more parts are away from the center of the
wheel, the more they are good candidates to a loss-saving exercise =
i.e. cranks, pedals, spokes, rims, tubes, tires would be where to save
some weight - and not so much the hub itself.

Of course, don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to have a Ti hub - but I
would LOVE even more having a Ti frame, because I feel like I would see
more benefits.

What do I miss here?

Cheers, MadC.

When I think of weight, I dont care where I save it, but I want
something more than a 5-6gram saving. And as frames go, I doubt im
going to break my frame, and its perfect for me and my riding.

So for my hub now, the flanges are bending, not from grinds or grabs,
cause I dont hit my spokes, so just from general riding, so a stronger,
lighter hub, has more seduction to me than a frame.
