Re: Want A Steel Sprocket
Why not just get an aluminum sprocket?

I used the same Thrust aluminum sprocket for ~1.5 years with no real visible signs of wearing.

Everyone I know with Thrust sprockets has had no problems, however I've known a couple of people with Vortex sprockets that have broke off teeth.

Re: Want A Steel Sprocket
What is wrong with the Vortex sprockets ?

I just ordered one and now it sounds like I may regret it

Re: Want A Steel Sprocket

we sell steel sprockets, we can make you your own custom design or you can choose from one of ours, any tooth, 525 pitch. and they are powdercoated.

this one is before powdercoating.

Re: Want A Steel Sprocket
I bought a thrust last year and rode it for 5 months, took it off and only had 13 teeth left. I will never run aluminum again.
