Best Chain/Sprockets for SV '02?

[Joe rocket]

Hey,
Could anybody enlighten me as to the best brand/ value for money in the way of chains and sprockets? X-ring / O-ring? Prefer to buy online if possible- distint lack of bike shops round this part of the world......
Cheers. :D

I bought an X-ring gold Iris chain from them £55 delivered. They also do Renthal and Talon sprockets (got front and rear gold sprockets directly from Talon for £35 delivered - http://www.talon-eng.co.uk/ )

Cheers,
Can you see any problems with buying the Iris Gold X-ring kit (standard steel front and rear) for £75?

Nope, they'll wear better than an alloy rear anyway, so if that's what you want then go for it.

They're very helpful on the phone, so don't just rely on their not particularly good online shopping system, give 'em a call.

Stuff normally gets there the next day.

Just how quickly do alloy sprockets wear? I mean in 'normal' riding/commuting. I suppose what I mean is, do they wear quicker than the chain? As long as they don't wear out before the chain, I would be tempted (as they do look cool :lol:) beacuse I would change 'em as a set anyway. But if they wear out before the chain :? ...not so great. So what's the offical jonboy verdict?
