Supersprox Stealth Sprockets, anyone used them before...?

[jonboy22]

I've already posted a question in the workshop about sprocket wear etc and have decided that I'm rapidly approaching and "oh shit" moment....

So am looking at getting some new sproks...

So far the top three on my list are Renthal, JT, and Supersprox...

Now I've heard of the first two and their relative values, but never heard of Supersprox....

Turns out that they only seem to do rear sprockets that are much more hardy than Renthals or JT's.

Which then made me think that if you have a hardcore rear sprocket, isn't it just going to mash up your front sprocket??

Plus I've been told that mixing and matching front and rear sprokets is a bad idea, does that mean, mixing brands or mixing old and new sproks??

Any advice or reviews on sprockets much appreciated as there doesn't seem to be much info out there....cheers

To be perfectly honest I doubt very much if you will notice any difference between any of the brands. Just buy which ever you fancy and that you can get hold of.

Hi

I agree with that. An alloy sprocket will weigh a tiny amount less, not going to be noticeable on the road. Although reduced sprocket life probably will.

I don't think a harder rear sprocket will wear out the front more quickly (possibly make life easier for it), but it does mean the rear is likely to outlast the front. Pity you cannot see the front as easily.

All the best

Get steel if you can, I'd have a steel rear sprocket but when you want a non-OE size the softer alloy Renthal's are easier to get hold of.

I've got the Supersprox 'tri-metal' sprocket on my thudnerace..

As it has an alloy body, with steel teeth, it's supposedly the 'best of both worlds'

While reducing unsprung weight has some benefit, the improvements will be almost unnoticeable..

they look cool tho, and I got mine at a special price so were similarly priced to a steel one.

get the Hard Anodised Renthals...
had them on my RR.... they don't go fluffy white in the winter, and are very tough and hard wearing.
Going to get some for my R1.
