Which is better?
Is it worth the extra $ to get Cromoly or is the only diff weight savings? I have also heard that Cromoly requires special preparation such as pre heating etc, that should only be don eby experienced persons. vs mild steel which is easier to work with and just as strong, but heavier. Any input? |

banned in not a good word. its leagal to use for NASA and SCCA. its just not leagal for CMC cause they really try to keep the cost of this class low. C/M tube (i used 80' in my cage) to build a cage will cost you $1500 just for the tube!
