|   Boone Titanium Cog | Nikh
Sep 19, 2003 5:10 PM | | Just recently purchased this piece of SS bike candy from Boone.
I wish the picture would speak for itself but sadly my photography skills are lacking somewhat!
Its incredibly light, strong and beautiful.
Cost is $2.50 per tooth you can order via there temporary website or email Brett directly.
email: bbrown@lundinter.com
website: www.boonerings.com/orderformchainring
It goes without saying this is a serious piece of hardware for your bike that will last for a very long time and is a sound investment.
If your not already aware they are making chain rings again to. |

| purdy but how long will it really last? | nalax
Sep 19, 2003 8:18 PM | | longer than loominum but shorter than steel is my guess. can these last for a season?
sound investment? king headset is prolly the only bike bit that lasts for a long time.
teeth seem a bit short but that could be the perspective. |

I was noticing that my White ENO freewheel was starting to show some signs of wear, and it's stainless steel. It's about six months old, and has a couple thousand miles on it. The pawls and bearings are going to outlast the teeth without even a service. That boone is damn pretty though. |

How wide is the base of the Boone cog?
I've sent Brett an email asking him some specific questions like durability, weight and the thickness of the base. I'm currently using a 18T stainless King Kog and it has been very good with respect to wear. I got nearly a whole season before finally flipping the Kog to use it in the reverse direction. So far, so good. My previous 18T aluminum Kog was soft and needed replacing relatively early compared to the stainless.
Knowing how long my Boone Ti chainrings are lasting, I suspect the Boone Ti cogs will be great. However, the wear-n-tear of a 18T cog vs a 36T ring is substantially different.
Ride Hard,
Mike B.
