@mtb24pride: In the interest of building a completely Ti drivetrain, choice of components was a bit limited. The half-link Ti chain was paired with a 5DEV N/W chainring. Obviously N/W chainrings are not designed for half-links. Pretty certain a 1/8" standard half-link would still work fine on a N/W ring, but this one was a 3/32" racing chain. This led to a more snug fit and the chain "sticking" to the chainring. All of this being said, I'm suspicious of a quality control issue too. A pin sheared off after riding about a half mile down a flat paved path.

Much appreciated! From what little I've gotten to ride it so far, it's incredible. That being said, I snapped the new Ti chain almost immediately on the first ride, so had to troubleshoot the drivetrain a bit more. Also looking for ways to shed the weight down to sub-20lbs without compromising the overall look ha

Thanks! 21.4 lbs as it sits. Would still be under 22 with pedals. Could easily get it to sub-20 lbs, but it would feel like downgrades.

That's high praise my man! It's so close... just a few more finishing touches. Then I'll have to get some proper pics of the build. :beer:
