Sprocket Help

[oldrider]

Hey placidfemme you remind me of "Mavis" in Open all hours. She could never make her mind either. Safety and performance should outweigh fashion. Have you ever seen the result of a bad chain break incident. Now that aint pretty. Always get the best not the prettiest. Good luck, John.

lol yeah I want a gold and shiney one! hehe

Your right, I'll keep an eye out though, wouldn't mind getting one, but if I can't I'll just get a normal one.

*still can't decide which 600 I want*

Can I suggest an XT600 then you can get "dirty" girl...

drop in to cycletreads on the shore. Tell them you are KB and you'll get a good discount. They will be more than happy to dicuss different sprocket setups (for more acceleration/or more top speed) and have a good selection of bits for it too, im sure they'll have some trick bits, you only have to ask and they'll get it in otherwise.

OK I think I've explained myself wrong...

The product I'm buying is Good quality, I'm buying a racing chain and good sprockets. I already have an awesome sprocket on my bike... but like all things... it needs to be replaced now.

I can get the chain and sprockets replaced today if I like, but I still have a few km's before it becomes "dangerous" to ride with the current ones.

I'm not substituing (sp) quality for vanity. Be assured I will only buy and have installed safe, good parts, as obviously my safety is number one. But if I have a great sprocket on my bike already, surely I can find the same one.

The best way I can explain my situation is:

You drop your bike... and you have blue farings... you need to replace them but can only find green ones... by trying to find blue ones does not mean your vain just that you want to keep the bike in the same condition and style as to what it already is...

I will no doubt have to install a random sprocket on there... until I can find the want I want that is...

Hey there

The Afam sprockets ( ie the gold ones) are hard anodised aluminium they will wear at a slightly higher rate than the steel ones and are a little tougher on the rollers of the chain as hard anodising is rather a course finish .. ,,They do get some really good milages though ,

you should be able to use those catalouge numbers to find online / in NZ a source.

You can also get chains in differing colors , red , green. blue etc

I just converted that price into NZ dollars....OUCH ,,,7000 yen here isnt a lot ... My entry fee to the MX races are usually 10 000 per race

but 90 dollars for a sprocket ,,,,,ouch ....( might be worth while seeing if a sprocket manufacturer in NZ has a blank in stock ,,,,then you can take it to an Anodising place ....any color you like ,,,,,)
