Even so, that's really expensive! I got new a new 520 Renthal chain and sprockets for less than £80. Is it not cheaper to buy sprockets from the UK and have them posted out? An airmail small packet isn't that much to post.schmiffee wrote:![]()
No No...that's $300 ($$$) not £300

At the current exchange rate that would work out to around £160-£170

Sprockets I could get away with $100AUD for the pair, or $200 for Chain Gang, which is supposed to last 3/4 times longer than JT, especially if I go to a 530 chain...
I think this time I will get the JT sprockets with a good chain (RK 530 GXW) ~$300 & see how long it lasts, then try the chain gang stuff when I've some time to save up.

I have a funny feeling Chaingang aren't making them anymore.

There you go. I went in there about 12 months ago and a young bloke told me no. Maybe he wasn't clued in to what was going on.
