Why not to get the cheap stuff....

Well.... for standard cag's I am sure it would be okish...

However - once your putting down power and going fast - do your self a big favour and go for the Euro gear!!

I have been doing some checking as of late - the euro stuff is about the same price even cheaper in some cases then the crap china stuff. Makes you wonder huh??

Here is a pic of a 7 tooth front sprocket. I bought it along with the banshee and had it fitted by them as well - so I didn't do anything to it either... apart from making sure my chain was adjusted ok.

**EDIT: Sorry - this happend after not even a full day of using the bike @ GPTC!! so maybe 20 laps and it was brand new!

Haven't experienced a chain come off before..don't want to either :lol:

Seen plenty of sprockets snap..


Is the sprocket a screw in one? will be fun to get out if it is..although multi grips should do the job?
