  • Not seeing any other manufacturers making alloy sprockets?

    And Token ones seem to be a bit thin on the ground...

  • Other than a couple of grams what's the point?

  • Expect them to last about 2 minutes

  • Velosolo, EAI (increasingly hard to find), Talon made for St. John Street Cycles (seem to have been discontinued), trials brands like Trial-tech, Jitsie, etc (tend to have a wider base, so may affect chainline).
    Why? They tend to run quieter.
    So long as your chainline is straight, the warnings about longevity are bunkum.

  • steel is an alloy as well, which means you can broaden your search

  • Think the Miche ones are alloy..

  • No, those are cheese

  • spam I have a 17t and a 19t Zeus alu sprockets for sale

  • Ha, thanks for the helpful advice from those that offered it! Will look into some of those mentioned.

    I used the Token ones on my steeds for years now and get enough miles out of them (so a tad more than 2 mins) to justify the weight saving! Remember guys, weight is the cyclist enemy. ;)

  • And cogs are not the place to be trying to save it

  • don't let dave brailsford hear you say that

  • Ha. By all means, save weight everywhere you can but unless you’re on a 5kg hill climb bike, I reckon there’s more sensible places to shave some grams

  • I do like the ping you get from a tooth snapping off

  • you can ping 'em off steel too

  • Wonder if it sounds the same 🤔

  • unless you’re on a 5kg hill climb bike

    I reckon if your on a 5kg hillclimb bike your probably putting out enough power that you could worry the threads on an ali cog.

    I actually think that anywhere that an ali cog is the next logical step in weight saving this is probably the case.

  • Probably. Is 6 bolt the way forward for the durability concerned aspiring weight weenie, I wonder.

  • 6 bolt...weight weenie

    Not sure about that, least not using an XT hub and steel axle I don't think.

  • Miche aluminium cogs are fine and inexpensive.

  • I have shaved it off everywhere else, only cogs left :P

  • How to get images showing peeps?

  • If it's in Google photos you'll need to host it somewhere that gives you a URL for the actual image file - one that ends in .jpeg or something. You could also attach the file directly to your post.

    How much do you weigh?

  • Sugino GIGAS?

  • Ok, will try again!

    not sure tbh, about 11st i think.
