Which rear sprocket would you recommend?
Well I have 30k miles all on my original stock chain, front and rear sprocket. Sprockets are not sharktoothing, and look fine. The chain even looks good, according to the dealer after measuring it on some little tool. So I decided to change the chain not due to wear, but due to mileage only. And I was told you should change the sprockets as well when the chain gets replaced. So that I did..
So I put on a stock chain length 530 Tsubaki Sigma Nickel Plated Chain, a stock front sprocket with 1000 miles on it, and I am now in need of a rear sprocket. I want to keep the stock 46-tooth setup.
So what brand does everyone recommend? Right now, I am torn between Renthal and SprocketSecialist but they are not that much cheaper than a stock one. Tell me all...

I just put a Vortex aluminum on mine. The stock sprocket wore very,very little after 20kmostly hard miles. If you want 'em to last 30k again,put another stocker back on. I can't wait to see how long the aluminum stands up to some miles

Beans, if you want another stock one I have one with maybe 100 miles on it. I would let it go real cheap. It's just sitting in my garage collecting dust.
Let me know.

Thanks!! My bike will be out of the shop on Tuesday after getting the valve inspection done, that rear sprocket I'll throw on and I will FINALLY be able to start my riding season officially. No, I did not just hear they closed the Snoqualmie pass because of snow, no I did not hear that.
