I was looking at those when I changed mine - are those the alloy ones? - but was warned off them as they tend to wear quicker than steel ones IIRC...

Think mine were only 8 quid or so for the front, and 15 or so for the rear (I think) - steel JT sprockets...haven't rusted yet either...

Those look good mind...

Is that an aluminium sprocket? I wouldn't use one on the road as the wear rate is higher, add to that it's for a 520 chain, which wears considerably quicker than the standard 525.

A 520 pitch chain

You can get renthal 525 (stock SV) sprockets too. That is probably your better option?

that sort of puts me off - correctly i think
the person i spoke to about them said wear is faster, but only 10 quid each.

my chain is ok at the moment, but a bit corroded, same for the back sprocket
how much? where from? for a new chain & sprocket set

I got mine from B & C Express - seemed pretty cheap and very knowledgable...

Scorrl down to the SV, and see the options.

HTH,

Sounds like you need to oil/lube your chain more often ... there is so much 'flung' oil on my sprockets, they'd never rust now even left at the bottom of the sea!!
