  1. Where can I find an aluminum cassette lockring for campy? I know campy makes a standard steel and a
    $50 titanium lockring, but SRP makes aluminum lockrings for shimano that are lighter and far
    cheaper. SRP (srp-usa.comsrp-usa.com) won't answer my emails, so does anyone else have a source?

    (yes I know the weight savings are insignificant, but thats not the point, cycling is my favorite
    athletic activity and my bike is a hobby in itself, so save the smart ass remarks!! 🙂

    Why settle for ordinary aluminum when you can get a cool titanium lockring for only $50? Sorry-I
    couldn't resist making a smart ass remark. Cycling is my favorite athletic activity as well, and my
    bike is a hobby in itself, too, but that doesn't mean I have to [censored] money away on it. I use steel
    lockrings. They last longer than aluminum, and they only cost $3.

    the srp ones are like $7. Anyway, who am I to tell a guy into train sets that his miniature post
    office replica is a waste of $50, or to tell a stamp collector that his collection is worth the face
    value of his stamps. Look at what women spend on clothing, or what old retired guys spend on
    restoring an old truck. At some point you just have to throw logic and reason away. A $1000 bicycle
    is pretty absurd to most people.

    My wife would agree with that statement. And she doesn't really understand why I need *five*

    Gotta ask, whatever for??

    I have pulled the threads right offa a DA aluminum lockring. The aluminum one is lighter than a
    steel one but the steel one sure doesn't weigh much...
