RNBRAD Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Hey guys, wanting to try some different gear ratio's. I don't want to fork out the money for a few sets of Sidewinder's till I find exactly the gearing I like. I don't want to use any junk either. I've never used anything other than Sidwinder and stock so I'm clueless at what brands to even look at. Let me know some good reliable sprockets at a reasonable price range. Thanks. Quote
zilladude Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 JT, Sunstar, or Primary drive. Quote
racer Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 primary drive. CHEAP and have yet to show any wear. Quote
locogato11283 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 primary drive. CHEAP and have yet to show any wear. 283773[/snapback] thats all i run. never had any problems. Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 (edited) Never had a problem with the Primary Drive. All I can think of when I hear Sunstar is that pic with all the teeth busted off. Not to mention the inexpensive steel sprockets are great for the sand. Edited November 23, 2004 by DIRTBIKEZ Quote
SDD Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 Same brands that are listed above. One thing I try to stick with is odd number of teeth on sprockets. With even numbers of teeth the same parts of the chain link plates start to wear a pattern into the sprockets thus wearing them out faster. With the odd number of teeth the link plates land alternately on the teeth spreading wear out over the whole sprocket. You'll really notice this on machines that the chain doesn't totally line up and you have wear on the sides of the sprockets. Just my choice but it makes a difference with 15/41 on my stroker. Quote

bigboybanshee Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 I've always used the cheap sprockets and haven't had any problems; primary and rear... Quote
