silly ned, titanium is much too heavy!
on a serious note, titanium (4.5) is actually a lot heavier than aluminium (2.5), which is itself a lot heavier than magnesium (1.5). not sure on the
specific gravity of cf, but it wouldnt apply due to the different nature and strengths of it.
You see a lot of bikes with carbon wheels, but they dont exert the same cornering force as a car.
