Does anyone have any experience with this?

Everyone seems to be selling quick chainge sprockets, i just want a normal steel sprocket on the rear for cheap, but  i cant find any, this isnt so bad and it looks pretty cool.


Or is quick change the way to go? the sprockets are cheaper for quick changes...

I dont mind buying a stock one, but i want to go up 2 teeth in the rear.

I have a quick change.  Makes life REALLY easy when swaping a worn sproket or just playing with gear ratios.

Even if you can go +2 in the rear...

...then the cush drives chew the eccentric at some point...

+1.

If you're the type to keep a bike long, or ride a ton of miles, or just burn through sprockets...you'll end up saving $$$ in the long run with a quick change set up.

If my math serves me correct, if you go through 2 sprockets, you would have already saved money with the quick change set up.

The steel sprockets last longer, but are pricey...you won't find one anywhere near as cheap as the quick change.

Most of the sprockets for the quick change are aluminum I think. You'd burn through those pretty fast.

Driven quick change sprockets = Aluminum
Afam quick change sprockets = Steel

Driven quick change sprockets = Aluminum
Afam quick change sprockets = Steel

STM=Aluminum

Who else makes them?

Ca-cycleworks has AFAM steel sprockets (quick change only) for $59, but the Quickchange carrier is $160. basically id go through 2 of these 1 piece ones, for each quick change. I put 18,000 on stock chains and sprockets.

is there no manufactuer that just makes a regular drop in steel sprocket so i dont have to go with a quick change setup? im probably going to put another 20k on the bike and sell it by the end of next year. so i dont care much for fancy shmancy  whatever. i may just go with a used carrier on ebay or something. 15/41 stock gearing isnt THAT bad. i just heard people LOVE 14/41 or 15/43 for commuting and figure id try it out.

It seems that due to the cush drives being in the sprocket, there are not too many mfgs making SSSA sprockets on the cheap.

The one in your original post is the cheapest I have found as of yet.

do all carries for the sss have the same BCD? 

I just got one (cant remember which) and im running an alum. JT sprocket but I think my next one will be a supersprox if I dont have to get another carrier...

[He Man]

Well i need a new chain. the last 1000 miles have really taken its toll. I thought i could squeeze some more life out of it, but 17,800 miles from stock chain and sprockets seems like im pushing it already.

Do you guys know of any 525 combo deals? I need a new chain as well.

There are steel sprox available for quickchange carriers; another good thing about a quickchange are the tabs that are supposed to prevent the cush drives from backing out and machining the eccentric/swingarm

your original link is a plain steel non-quickchange sprocket for $99
Supersprox makes a one-piece too, but they are a little more

I went with the Supersprox 42T rear and the EK SRX chain from monsterparts.  Wasn't that expensive and works just fine.  I like the 14/42 gearing.

The 1 piece design Supersprox has steel teeth but aluminum carrier to reduce weight.

These last 5x longer than the aluminum sprockets. If you know what size sprocket you need, this is a good option.



SUPERSPROX "Stealth" 525 Sprocket: 748-998,848,S4R,MH,MTS,HM

The all steel AFAM should last about the same--but make sure it is designed to prevent the cush drives from backing out into the swingarm. The better carriers/sprockets have a backing plate machined in to prevent this.

What about this guy... not at all cheap... but pretty :-)  Magnesium carrier, alum sprocket.

Side question: how hard is it to take the cush drives out and move them to a new carrier?
