Yeah, Mike and Mike have a point. But the problem is in the way Mike 1 made the point. Because of course the corollary is those who do not care about weight are not in good shape and do not ride their bikes a lot. Well, I am in good shape, ride my bike a lot, and never think about weight at all when it comes to my bicycles.
My 1x5 has a White Industries crank so uses White chain rings. My other two bikes have TA chain rings. TA work very well and are quite durable. I imagine they weigh less than some rings and more than others. Frankly, I have no idea. And of course since my multi-speeds have *gasp* heavy Maxi-Car hubs freewheels, I imagine any weight advantage I get from using TA over something else goes right out the window compared to using some modern cassette hub. Amazing a manage to ride the bike at all let alone a lot.
