[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 177788, member: 38"] A few of us in Vancouver have run alloy sprockets (anodized) from a couple of US manufacturers, and we all came to the same conclusion. 9800 miles they look great, 10,000 miles and your rear wheel is really sparkly with all the aluminum shards adorning it. That is as good or better than all the non hardened sprockets. Holder's wouldn't tell the Spares Co what they were making them out of back in the day I would hope for 20K from these steel ones. Also the o ring chains, with no oiling system and just a quick lube on the road, especially if running in the rain a lot seem to be good for around 15-20k and then suddenly start to go slack, usually for a few inches in the chain where the seals have failed and pins and bushing wear very quickly, time for a new chain..
