Anybody know how much an axle would weigh if made from Ti? And how much $$$ just for the material? I really question if Ti should reallly be used for some parts, like an axle. If it really was a good thing, wouldn't plenty of well funded racers be using them? I have a hunch that money isn't the only reason ti isn't used for axles. Is it too brittle or too soft?

R&S have them listed, they're about $750 if I remember right....
If they have them in stock and they are banned for most racing maybe they'll sell one to you cheap......
Go on, ask them.... I dare you.....
