16tooth countershaft sprocket

[greasergroff]

hey just wondering if anyone knows where i can find a 16 tooth front sprocket with the renthal style lightweight holes in it?the only sprockets i see with the holes in them are 15 tooth and under.

Drill your own

Why? You're not even cutting enough weight to notice, and only weakening the sprocket & asking for trouble. Unless you are very accuate and drill the holes evenly, you will also throw the weight balance of the sprocket off and induce some vibration into your output shaft...

VERY good point

yeah i would never drill the holes unless i used my buddys milling machine for obvious balancing reasons. i just want the lightest sprocket i can get thats all. so what brand sprockets are u guys running when over a 15 tooth? really would like renthal but only can find 15 tooth.thanks

www.rebelgears.com. They make their own, as well as lighten, rear sprockets. I'm sure they can lighten the countershaft sprockets they sell.

While I completely understand weight and rotating mass, that's one gear I don't think I'd mess with to be honest.

 

Rear sprocket, sure...but front, I'd leave it as is.

i have witnessed the lightend front sprockets break...

ok sounds good i just figured since they made them in 15 tooth and below i would try and find a manufacture that had them but since everyone says to avoid them and people witnessing them breaking then ill def. stay with a solid set up.thanks for input guys

was this a serious question? Can we get a pic of your bike

I would remove every other lug nut too to reduce rotating mass. It works great!

We run a 17 tooth lightened/drilled front sprocket. It has over 200 runs on asphalt & over 100 runs on sand. It hasn't broken yet.
