Would be interesting to compare weights of the MotoCorse stuff to my setup, Superlite sprocket with AEM lightweight carrier and titanium bolts all around.

correct but... the teams sell off parts every season new + used. You just have to know where to get them
 
Shame. I like the look of that.

I used to get tour stuff when I was involved in golf a long time ago, interesting prototype stuff and other bits and pieces from tour vans, some players and others working on the tours, but I’ve no connections in bike racing.

I like the minimal style of that setup.

I’ll be interested to see if the dealer is able to get the cush drives to go with those Sitta parts. I think it’s unlikely. Makes you wonder why WRS sell the sprocket and flange if they don’t sell the cush drives that are needed for it…
 
more like squid bling
Not being aggressive here Steven, but ANO colors is V unfactory

Man I could give a .... about the colors, it’s the lightest rotating mass assembly I found to put together. Aside from an apparent aversion to anodizing here, that’s most certainly not a squid setup. Everybody here knows the affects of reducing rotating mass on a bike’s handling, not sure how what color the part is has anything to do with its strength and weight and durability.

or the actual difference it will make....
 
Aye man no diss, yes less rotational mass is great. I am guilty of what I am giving you .... about because the ONLY reason I wanted the the Sitta + Corse setup is because it LOOKS factory... there is no one on our continent that (including Herrin) that this is helping performance wise. The reason I am giving you .... is because the ANO bits craze is a huge part of after market rabbit hole. This is purely subjective but Factory look is preferable to colored metal hahahaha black or silver ONLY

I actually agree on the looks bit, I just took all the day Glo decals off my bike and wheels and like the black wheels look, and would prefer to switch to all black hardware, but what I have is about the lightest setup I could put together, so no reason to change it OTHER than color lol

The 20 pounds or so of rotating mass that I took off the bike definitely made it funner and easier to ride, it’s just so flickable now, but it also definately did NOT make me faster 😂😂😂

As an aside, I love the way Bautista’s bike looks with those silver wheels lol
 
Ah you mean my bike…🤷🏼‍♂️😉🤣

Man the owner at the shop that works on my bike use to have a data collection and management company for race teams (MotoAmerica ex) that had real sponsors that gave them real money. He has this weird thing about poking fun at guys who come to his shop with company decals on their bikes: “Are those guys giving you money or free parts?, then why are you advertising for them?” With a bit of disdain in his voice hahaha

It weirdly wore off on me so now you don’t see company logo’s other than Ducati and the ubiquitous Shell badge on my bike. Kinda annoying for me because I kinda liked putting the stickers from some of the cooler parts I put on the bike. But when he said that it became like when someone shows you something that you can’t unsee after you see it lol

Now when I go to put a sticker or decal on my bike I can’t do it, because I say to myself; ‘this is some poser ...., cause these guys aren’t paying me’ 😂😂😂

Based on that the only logo I can put on my bike is my company logo…which I think I’m gunna do for tax purposes lol
