Aluminum Sprocket - anything good/bad to say about them?

#1 Post by RZResurection » Thu Sep 18, 2008 1:08 am

I just bought an aluminum sprocket from Sprocket Specialists.

Any of you guys had luck with aluminum sprockets. It's nice and light, but I think that it'll be crap for wear.

Feedback???

Thanks

They're light..............and they don't live very long.Lube frequently and keep an eye on chain adjustment.
