Default 15\43, new chain?

Wow $150 for a new chain, don't want to do that. So what do you guys think is better for hillshooting 15\41 or 14\40, is one harder on the chain than the other. How will this work with 22" haulers\extremes. I noticed Rockymountainatv has a 14t for like $15, what's wrong with that one. (why so cheap)

the sidewinder chain is much stronger than any stocker,i broke my stock one ice racing. the sprockets are made with the inner collar for our machines, without this collar you have to shim the back side and hope you get it just right. you may pay extra for these parts but they won't fail!!

Jeffroe, it says that these are for the bombardier DS650, I could get both of them for the price of one sidewinder. Do you think it's worth a try or should I just buck up and spend the extra dough?

the sweetness of a good deal is soon forgotten with the bitterness of poor quality!!! i think confushis said that or was it the drunk in the park across from my shop!!! oh well it just seems too work in this slot.

i went with the 112 link thinking i could put a larger front sprocket. if i wanted to go faster on top end. alba and woods also have sprockets , higher than rocky mountain, but they work o.k.

Ok I'll go with the sidewinder sprockets, but what size? 15\43 (expensive) 15t\40 or 14t\40 (not expensive but maybe hard on the chain.)

I need a set up for hill shooting with 22" haulers.

Just remember! The fewer teeth on the front sprocket the more load thats put on them, the smaller the chain has to bend to go around the sprocket, the closer to the countershaft seal your chain always runs making it more likely to force debris into it, The less effective the case guard can protect against a broken chain.
IMHO 14 tooth is too small.
I bought my chain and $$prockets from $$$idewinder. I felt a little violated at first but I got over it. I am happy with the quality though
