VegasJeff Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Whats the best rear sprocket to get? My choice is sidewinder. :thumbsup: Quote
Natemills8 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Posted July 12, 2009 Screw Sidewinder!!! thats the whole damn reason Im haveing to replace my sprocket the chain broke & bent the hubs!! Quote
RadarRacing Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Most of them are good. If you want an aluminum one the pbi sprockets are tought to beat, otherwise for just a steel one Vitos, M&M atv and FAST have a few different brands each. Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 42 tooth. I agree that's a good starting point for dune draggin' which i am assuming he is either asking what the best brand is or best tooth to get. What are you planning on doin? What's your settup? Quote
Natemills8 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Posted July 14, 2009 Its not dunes its 200ft dirt drags gearing is 14 40 Quote
dragbanshee98 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 what is wrong with sidewinder??? get their ti-moly sprokets they are guaranteed for life, u cant beat that Quote
shanYE west Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 can they guarantee my labor and down time and or broken cases? Not worth the price tag in my opinion. I've used the cheap Primary drive aluminum sprockets and never had any issues. I normally use renthal counter sprockets and sunline rear steel. Quote

I've used the cheap Primary drive aluminum sprockets and never had any issues. I normally use renthal counter sprockets and sunline rear steel. Exactly My buddy bought a brand new sidewinder chain for his bike the first or second race he used the chain in it broke & busted his cases he has got a 4mil cub and he went & got a $30 chain & hasnt had a problem with it yet he called the guy at sidewinder & he said he couldnt do anything about but give him $50 or something off another chain. Then my chain broke this past weekend it was the second time I used it first time the bikes been to the track this year to be honest just got it together this past week it wouldnt fall out of a tree if you kicked it until we done some adjustments the next past it done pretty good to mid track then the chain broke.

dajogejr Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 You can keep sidewinder and their warranty. I use Sprocket Specialist aluminum on the back. Only because I have to. Tons of passes and abuse, they still look good. For those of you that don't think aluminum will hold up to a drag bike....I've got proof that's an incorrect statement. Steel is cheaper, however....

Didn't you tell me to go steel that alum on a drag bike is a bad idea? Or did i misunderstand you...lol Quote
dajogejr Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Steel is cheaper, more readily available... Because I have a Honda 4 bolt sprocket hub on this and my last drag axle, I'm limited to what sprockets I can buy, anything larger than a 40 or 41 and I have to buy aluminum. I wouldn't use aluminum on the back of a trail bike that'll get beat up, rocks, mud, etc....but a aluminum on the back of a drag bike that runs groomed tracks is just fine. Quote
