Aluminum rear sprocket, reviews?

kfxguy · 12-08-2011, 10:13 PM

I tried a cheap sun star aluminum sprocket one time and it didn't last no time. Anyone try a more expensive sprocket and have good luck? I just ordered a pbi brand sprocket, 7075 t6-51 aluminum. Hoping it lasts a while. I looked up the material and it's supposed to be as hard as steel and have wear properties like steel. Any reviews?

I've tried one aluminum sprocket and it didn't seem to last.........cheapo steel sprocket now but doesn't look as cool.

I have the supersprox aluminum/steel sprocket and love it. It's got the aluminum inner portion (7075 T6) and a steel outer gear portion so it's light and has the wear properties of steel.

I've had a aluminum white bros for some time now and doesn't show much wear

I've had an aluminum one and it was sharp as a razor blade pretty quick. (eBay one) I stick to lightly used OEM ones now and they seem to hold up great and are easy to find :] Doesn't look as cool as Biggies but gets the job done.

This is what I ordered. 3160- TRX-250R/X, TRX-300EX, TRX-400EX, TRX-450R. 520 Chain. - PBI Sprockets and I read on a few websites that 7075 is super strong and wear resistant. I think the last aluminum sprocket I had was a 6061t6 aluminum.

Can someone do me a favor? Go to the supersprox.com website and see if they offer a sprocket for a 2005 Honda trx300ex, trx450r. I want the stealth series sprocket.
I have a rad aluminum axle and it takes a Honda sprocket. 250r is the same too.

I used to have one of these sprockets and man I loved it. I'd like to have another.

Btw, I'm at work and blocked from their website. Blah.

I run Renthal, front and rear, no issues to date. Granted that's not aluminum, but given the strength and life span of them why wouldn't you run something that's proven?

Because they are too dang expensive. It'll get really expensive when I need to buy three front sprockets and a rear.

Is that the stealth? Aluminum and steel teeth?

Just double checked. Yes that is the part number for the stealth, aluminum with steel teeth.
