Re: Want A Steel Sprocket

I've had the same Vortex sprocket for 3 seasons now (1.5 years of riding to you warm-winter guys) and it's going on its 4th... It still looks like new. Learn to adjust your chain and keep it lubed and aluminum lasts for a long time.

Those custom steel ones look sick though.

Re: Want A Steel Sprocket

I keep my chain well adjusted. I have seen many vortex and thrust sprockets break teeth off only a few months old. I will stick with steel.

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.


I bought one of yours a while ago and so far no problems. was a little tight fit around the hub though.

Re: Want A Steel Sprocket

yes, they are made to order, we can do whatever color powdercoat you want, but if we dont have it in stock, it takes a few days to get it. custom sprockets start at 120 shipped.

Since GSP went under I have been looking at sidewinder or the stealth tri-metal.

Re: Want A Steel Sprocket

http://venomsprockets.com/material.htm

just an idea my boy mikeonthebike rocks one and its official....i had a vortex on for 2 years, rode street and lot multiple times a week, had a brand new chain kept it snug and lubed...

i dont see a reason for aluminum sprockets to just break unless they are not properly maintained. your chain should be new or in good shape and well lubed always, and correct tension too

good luck
i got a thrust 62 tooth now and it was used and still holding up fine....
