Yes, my 35 some odd miles yesterday on my 1960ish chrome Cinelli track bike with a 24x9, (Ted, are you read'n?) makes me attest to the fact that it's STIFF! And certainly preferred for old track iron. When I started racing on the track in 1976, I had NO money and used used stuff across the board ( no pun intended), inch pitch was the old stuff the other guys wanted to get rid of. Works good.
