Titanium Square Wire Weight?

[hrspla]

How much lighter are the titanium square wires compared to the regular. Can you really tell a difference when you wear them.

In my opinion, neither noticeably lighter or more durable.

A pair from many years ago, was properly sat on. Frame hasn't been straight and true since.

Correct me if i am wrong, but the old ones were an aluminum frame. The reason titanium is so awesome is it is as strong as steel but as light as aluminum. So it wouldnt make a difference weight wise...

Elementally, aluminum is still lighter than Ti. but once you start making alloys, all bets are off.

True, but its darn close

True, but its darn close

Aluminum is about 1/3 the density of an average steel, while Ti is 60% more dense than aluminum.

So, how much lighter would a pound of Ti be than a pound of steel?

Divide by zero.

Divide by zero.

(shhh... it's a trick question...)
