I run aluminum at the track.

Ok... and the weight difference between an aluminum sproket and a titanium sprocket is what? Maybe a couple ounces?

couple of OZ's is a lot when its in motion like that.

honestly, though, unless you've got your own race squad and a crew to calibrate your bike who the fuck cares what sprocket you're using at the track man? theres so much more to worry about than a couple extra ounces at the wheel.
