chain and sprockets

is there any point in buying standard steal sprokets and a profesional chain , or do people use the chain twice even know they say change at the same time ?? as i can only seem to find standard sprokets

a worn chain speeds up the wear of the sprockets and vice versa.

Original chains are DID endless items.
Original sprockets are steel.

Both do a very good job, most chains come with a rivet link so you don't have to remove the swing arm (not that this is impossible or a bad time to re-grease all the bearings).

You can get alloy sprockets which are lighter. They wear much faster and for a road bike they are of deeply questionable benefits for anything other than aesthetics.

Edit: "Professional" is rather meaningless, I'd suggest going for an O or X ring chain from a known manufacturer such as AFAIM, DID, Tsubaki etc..

both chris and dave recommend steel sprockets and a quality chain, have a look on the b anc c express website.

Professional chain? What's it done its degree in?

yeah you probably could use the chain with new sprockets.
I only ever use standard O ring chains and steel sprockets and I normally change them at the same time. The stuff I normally get costs me around £90 for the chain and sprockets whereas a DID premium X ring gold chain will cost you £90 without sprockets
