The 3D Printed Moorhuhn is Now Available in Full Titanium
@OnTheRivet: I'll be honest my knowledge in electronics is limited but just to keep the pedantry going...
Silver is indeed the most conductive metal. But gold isn't used purely for wow factor, its used due to the aforementioned high resistance to corrosion. Silver tarnishes much much more than gold and when it tarnishes the outer surface actually becomes less conductive.
This is why copper and gold are more commonly used as copper is much cheaper and pure gold doesn't corrode.
This is why you see on some higher end Hi-Fi the speaker terminals and inputs are gold plated. It helps stop corrosion on the terminals.

@JosMaple: haha yes!
Imagine the peace of mind this would bring mid race as you float over a big double, in a split second you'd know that your wheels are balanced properly, theres no imperceptible up/down wobble and you wont even need to lube each spoke nipple after the race.
Its these small incremental psychological gains that win races
