Hey Patriot and 53_11! Check it! Who'd a thunk that Ti would be used for this?

My LBS has TI tire irons. 12 bucks for two, I swear they weigh less than the business card they are mounted on.

...and it'll last about long enough for you to make it to the next LBS for a good steel chain.

$340 for a chain certainly isn't my cup of tea. I wonder if the NOS 9 speed chains are half price as I don't have any 10 speed components?
Edit: That single 10 speed chain costs about the same as 26 SRAM PC-59 chains. Guessing 3000 miles per chain that would be 78,000 miles. I'll stick with my old 9 speed junk.

Khuon, I did a search, but came up with nothing.
Raiyn, I saw it in a catalog a while back, and was reminded of it by something (God only knows), and thought we could get some interesting comments here on the forums.
