Ordering Sprockets and chain...suggestions please
Kaveman42:
I went with the Renthal 520 O-Ring Chain and Renthal 14/49.
mikesmith:
I know the dispute on steel/aluminum sprockets,but I like and get my moneys worth out of aluminum Renthal sprockets,but have no problem with steel.
afritts4u:
I can feel a super suttle difference when riding between the steel and aluminum. Im now running a steal because I hardley ever race. I would like to see a dyno from sidewinder claiming that you can gain 2 rear wheel hoursepower when compared to a steel sprocket. I wonder why no one has developed a titanium one? maybee it is too hard a material for chain whear.
TomKat:
SideWinder all the way!!!! Amazingly tough!! I've had their O-ring chain and aluminum rear sprocket on my '03 KX500 for 2 1/2 seasons of abuse :evil: and there is only a slight amount of wear to the rear sprocket. Well worth the $$$! If I ever wear out this set, I'll definetly buy again. :-D
