>>1406618I would. I could even make a set of rings precisely for this purpose. But there is no decent shifter and FD that can shift these. 48 gears - sounds nice ( read: sounds absolutely idiotic, which I why I like it )
>>1406622Because If I wanted something off the shelf, I would use something I already have ( I have a small heap of 10 and 11 speed cassettes ). That, and the fact that making a workable 3x12 would need quite some fiddling. There is no native setup for this.
>>1406622Judging from attached picture - 11-19 is steel, 21-34 is aluminum. I'd want it to be 100% steel, but it seems that this one is aimed at Sram-AXS buyers - so slick oil and lightweight at a cost of durability.
>>1406633Steel hardened to 50+ HRC, which is the norm for cassettes, has wear characteristics that are unmached by any other metal. Maybe except tungstem. Titanium, if made to be hard, has half of the life expectancy of steel in bike cogs, aluminium is a third to fourth of that time.
