1:Is drivetrain coating rubbish or is there more to this that should be explored?
2:If you were to get your race day gears coated (thinking IP at track nationals), what coating would you pick?
Excuse the amateur google research below but...
Coating - Friction Coefficient (google estimates)
Diamond Like Coating (DLC) ~ .1-.2
Titanium Nitride (TiN) ~ .45-.55
PEEK ~ .25-.35
PTFE ~ .08-1
Hard Ano & PTFE ~ .15-.2
Atomic??
Kappstein ProLine Elite
Pyramid Cycle Design - PEEK - static coefficient of friction ~.35-.4
Atomic High Performance - Atomic mystery
EAI Gold Medal Cog - TiN
KMC chains - DLC
