Remember Star Wars?
C-45 is what they made the next model after C-3PO out of. Strong stuff apparently. Even deflects light sabers...

I have bought a few of them Rod and seem Ok, these days you never know where what is made...... even Honda's ( cars) are manufactured in Thailand plus others. BMW's -Sud Afrika etc etc <i></i>

Alloy or steel? Let me know your thoughts, please. Cheers,

Me Steel, how long would it take cheesecake torque to shred an aluminium sprocket. Not long methinks.

I have always used alloy I have done around 40000 and still on my second Titan Tough alloy sprocket. Cheers,

I'd prefer Steel , depends on how they are manufactured Ray. Most I have seen are pretty lousy ie pressed / sheared / notched. So it effects the way in which the chain engages the teeth.

I have briefly used a Sprocket Specialists alloy rear sprocket on the salt 2 years ago --- loaned it off Hawkwind ( thanks again ) when I ran out of gearing options ( as I always do and did again this year too ). Beautifully made sprocket and no doubt CNC milled, prob made from 7075T6 which is strong / hard ally alloy - age hardened. They werent cheap.

Turbo hayabusa's eat alloy rear sprockets for breakfast I hear!!!! no matter what alloy!!!

C-45 is another designation for what most engineers in OZ refer to as K1045..... basically 0.45% carbon content. <i></i>

Thanks for that Gazza, how much was the Sprocket Spec. price tag as I am about to order off them (bulk), or try to get my own sprockets made up. Its all a matter of $$ and quality and I have to be sure either way i go. Cheers,

Kawasiki I cannot remember what the sprocket spec cost as I imported a few of them in with other stuff , I am having some one off front and rear sprockets being made now by John Tittman racing in Qld all steel, when I get them I let you know what quality they are
