Carbon crankset and chainrings! Is it crazy?

Since carbon doesn't wear well when rubbed on by steel(like in the
chain), probably more for the 'show' than the 'go'. I am sure they
don't do anything better than aluminum, like shift, wear, etc...but
they sure are expensive!!

Dear Rik,

Gulp! If those really are carbon teeth on the chain ring, then I may
have to admit defeat.

I can find wooden bicycles with wooden handlebars and frames and rims
and even spokes from the 1890's, but I'm pessimistic about finding
wooden cranks, much less chain rings.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

No, but then the carbon lever part doesn't come in contact with a
metalic rim.

If you have abrasive metal fingers and brake
frequently, yes.
