Need a new sprocket and I'm stumped on whether to stick to the surley ones or get one of these Halo ones.

Halo and Surly cogs all come from the same factory. They are produced by Andel.

They should fit fine, Miche uses a different lockring though.

Yes.
I stayed bottom end to get a selection of fixed sprockets. I think the cheapest was a couple of quid from SJS, while functional you could instantly see it had been stamped as one side was smooth and rounded edges (from stamping) the other side was burred up. It fits it works, after some dremeling it runs quieter smoother. spend more and SJS do a chromed machined one.
Double the price and jump to Gusset, machined and chromed much nicer, fit and ride and forget. Does look similar to the SJS chromed one.
Double the price again and your in Dura ace, double or triple again and EAI olympic track with very high grade steel and coatings to reduce drag.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
