13,000 miles and I was in need of a new chain. Sprockets still looked good but I decided to swap out the set for safe measure, the new sprockets weren't that expensive anyway.

Checked with Monster Parts and got all three. Got a Superlight 15T front, Superlight 46T rear, and a DID VX2 chain.

Not a bad weight reduction either:
         Stock         New
Front      9oz          6oz
Rear    2lb2oz       1lb4oz
Chain   4lb3oz       3lb10oz

Total reduction = 1lb10oz of rotating mass!

Haven't you tried a 14T on yours?  Huh? Chains and sprockets seem to last 15K - 25K if maintained well.

Will go to a 15/41 probably when I change, but quality steel. Have had poor experience with alloy sprockets in the past FWIW.
