Weight difference between campy chainrings

Does anyone know the weight difference between 50T and 52T, and that between 34T and 36T for the post-2015 campy chorus crankset (it seems the chainrings are the same for chorus, record, and super record)?

Thanks.

Always worried about the looks between them, not the weight.

If you're that worried about weight why are you running Chorus to begin with?

The rings are the same between those groups and the mass difference is about 2.4 chickpeas.

Not worried but curious. The advertised weight for crankset by Campy is always the 50/34 170mm version, i.e. the lightest possible. Wanted to know how much the difference can be for different configurations. Plus Chorus is on par with if not slightly lighter than Ultegra, so far from being considered a heavy groupset

I would say the only way would be to actually weigh them. Any ad that talks about weight will be the advertised, not actual weight..you can go ask on weight weenies, cuz they are, ya know, a bunch of weight weenies. BUT I suspect a 52/36 is not much more..grams..probably single digit differences.

As for weight..group weight differences mean not much. Function, reliability, is what's important. I get a real giggle when somebody(a weight weenie?) crows about how light a DA chain is vs a Ultegra one..yikes, go ride the farging thing...
