    Chain and sprockets

    Hey guys whats a decent sprocket brand to get.

    I changed to 520 -1+3 last time i changed sprockets but i got a Vortex ally rear which has only lasted about 20k kms and its chewed out pretty badly already.

    I would of thought they should last a bit longer than that.

    Any good brands of sprockets to get?
    I recall desmo i think getting a rear with a alloy carrier but steel teeth anyone know what brand?

    i find the JT steel sprockets and RK GXW series of chains last and last and last

    the set on my r1 has 38000km on it now and im only just starting to think about replacing it because the chain has got some tight spots, sprockets are still good

    I have a +2 Supersprox Stealth Tri metal (alloy carrier/steel teeth) and DID 530ZVM2 chain on my 98 Blackbird, it's done approx 19 000km and I've only adjusted the chain once No visible stretch or wear to the sprockets
    They are a good combo of lighter weight and durability, got mine from the Sprocketcenter

    RK GXW chains and driven sprockets
    Gutsy question. You're a shark. Sharks are winners, and they don't look back because they have no necks. Necks are for sheep.
