Yip custom made ti chain rings the ultimate weight saving water jet cut from ti plate and hand finsihed by Mattias at experimental prototype.

Very rare as all his rings were made to order, and he longer makes them.

Interested in how they are lighter? Are they thinner than an equivalent aluminium ring?

 

[adlyhobart]

with ti` you can make the ring with less framework/body than an alli` one as its stronger but about the same in weight. the best thing about ti` rings is the life span compared to alli.
i am always surprised and annoyed that there are not more ti` rings being made. i know its harder to machine than alli but surely the higher price they would sell for would cover that.

They are thinner than alloy, made from 2mm ti plate. Being so thin I had to go to SS chain ring bolts to get them secure.

Very hard wearing, a lit bit slower to shift without the usual ramps & pins but till pretty good.

Also they were a very reasonable price.
