Titax Sprockets
Well, thats good to know. And I may go to them. If I could say more about why I am asking about Titax, I would. I found a stainless steel sprocket (40T) that I purchased from a few weeks ago. The finish doesn't really inspire me, but I thought that maybe thats just the way stainless sprockets are. What do you guys think. Here is a Close Up.

I have used Titax and Primary Drive, both economy sprockets that do not last as long as the higher priced sprockets. not from wear - from hooking. the teeth in my experiences have hooked faster than the stock sprocket and the sprocket I got from RWR (not sure who makes theirs). Now I'm not ******* them - if you bought 3 Titax for the price of one higher end, the 3 Titaxes will outlast the one higher end.
You can also notice the finish on the surface of the teeth are not as good, but it hasn't seemed to cause any kind of chain roller wear that I can notice.

Can someone please explain to me why NOBODY makes STEEL rear sprockets larger than stock (40 teeth) for the DS?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
It's very frustrating! I simply do not understand why ANYONE would put an ALUMINUM sprocket on a DS! Whatever?![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Hightower, thats good info. I'm not worried about anybody ******* anybody else. As you probabaly guessed, I'm looking for honest opinions about sprockets. As far as aluminum, there are a lot of people that order them. I think they tend to last a season or so no matter who makes them. However, I was looking at stainless and tool steel as another alternative. Thanks for the input.
