New Item No Info,what Is The Weight Savings One On One As Compared To Freeline Aluminum?retail Difference?

Hi Dale-
You will have to get pricing information from Steve or your local dealer, as I don't have that info.

Weight savings is pretty considerable. I would estimate the rear hubs to be about 60% of the weight of the aluminum ones. I haven't weighed them on a scale though - but you can certainly feel the difference in the 50mm hubs.

Here are the part #s:
Cassette (50mm) - 10.9191.00-OR
Front hub (25mm spindle) - 10.9161.00-OR
Front hub (17mm spindle) - 10.9162.00-OR
Rear Hub (50x95) - 10.9160.00-OR

Cassette weight. Chris told me that you will save 1 pound for a complete set of mag cassettes compared to the aluminum (3 cassettes)

For the same cassette design with just a material change from Al to Mg, the Mg part will be 63% of the weight of the Al part (i.e. a 37% weight saving).

I Use Two Cassettes But When Combined With The Front Hubs I May Get Over A Pound Of Weight Savings,good Info

[Garry Lobaugh]

The starvation diet along with ten minutes a day of exercise will save money and get you the fastest weight savings Dale. ( Just kidding) But for me I did lose 18 pounds this past year with a change of diet and small daily exercise program. It is not as expensive as the mag parts. Good luck this season.
