That makes no sense, but thanks for another great contribution to the thread. It seems like somewhere around 2% of your posts are useful. It’s an odd way to spend your time.

I wouldn’t go 2% tbh!
And anything useful is just a repeat or read somewhere …. Let him stick to his BS we know where we are.

If only discussions could remain objective and depersonalized... 🤔 imagine if posts were like clouds of thought, interactively copulating, collectively coalescing to form a precipitation of information that would fall and bear fruit...

...Would be Latte's for all

You have a 520 chain? Those 20,000+ miles have been on track?

Rregardless, I expect my chain is fine for a while yet. That doesn’t mean I can’t discuss and purchase replacement parts to use either when I feel that I need to or just because I want to.

There are technical benefits to lighter parts though, so it’s incorrect to say there are zero benefits (the topic is ‘chain and sprockets’ - not just ‘chain’).

I've used a 520 chain on my ZX-10R. It lasted around 15k miles with a monthly track session and weekend canyon riding, not pure track. Of course, lighter rotational mass does make a difference, be it rims, sprockets or chains. I however feel stock chain replacement at 1k odd miles is an overkill, unless you're competing. The stock setup might make you slower by a few tenths of a second on hot laps, but is good enough for trackdays even with advanced riders.

You can discuss to your hearts content btw. Where did I say you couldn't? 😊

Did they each publish destructive testing data for comparison?

No clue, working purely from anecdote about the construction process and their own marketing materials.

Of note, Thysenkrupp is the OEM Manufacturer for the Porsche CF wheels using the same process.

Porsche knows how to engineer stuff and source stuff well.

They do. So might BST.

So the more accurate assertion is “one manufacturer says their wheels are stronger than another manufacturer’s wheels”?

And there is no empirical evidence validating this assertion, but Porsche uses them and they know stuff. ;)
