Ridea offers two different track cogs as well. They look the same but one is steel, the other one aluminum.
Haven't tried them yet though.

That'd seen a good deal of use before it lost the teeth!

Is anyone actually doing serious miles on a aluminium sprocket?

I recently replaced a Miche 20t sprocket (Miche 19t sprockets and above are alloy) because of wear after two years of use. At the same time I replaced the 48t chainring, which was about three years old. They were on a bike I ride between about 1500 and 2000km per year (including in winter and off-road).

I’ve got a few years and lots of off road miles on an alloy (Endless Bike Co) SS sprocket. It’s obviously worn, but still works well.

Disclaimer: Yes. I know this thread is in reference to fixed sprockets. My example is meant to illustrate that alloy sprockets can be used without turning immediately to dust.

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
