Steel or aluminium sprockets?
I'm looking at a new chain and sprockets for the XT. The chain I have chosen is
http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/...520_R3-2_Chain Would I be better with: FRONT http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/...aha_XT600_2002 or http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/...latest&sd=DESC REAR http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/...aha_XT600_2002 or http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/...latest&sd=DESC I will always replace chain and sprockets at the same time, so as long as the sprocket outlives the chain I'm happy. Renthal chain, stick with Renthal sprockets, or doesn't it matter? Or should I spend a bit more money and get DID or Tsubaki? Thanks |

Re: Steel or Alloy Sprockets
I had that Renthal rear, it was not as long lasting as steel.
B&C EXPRESS are usually the easiest and good value - bike finder site! Pete

Re: Steel or Alloy Sprockets
I always go with steel sprockets now, had a couple of the Renthal alloy sprockets and they never lasted long

Re: Steel or Alloy Sprockets
I like these. Alloy carrier, steel teeth, look bling.
