We went with steel so we could have it be all one piece, spin true, and greatly increase it's durability. Using aluminum wouldn't have held up.
The three shoe clutch, ready to go, is only 3 grams heavier than the previous multi piece, 2 shoe design ready to go. And the new two shoe clutch adapter is 7 grams lighter than the original.
