the 48-16 i'm currently riding is a bit too big for training rides (50-100km).

i'm thinking about putting a 17t on the back.....any recommendations of decent quality/priced sprockets?

i'm more interested in something that is solid and will last rather that shinny bling. i'm guessing buying unbranded off ebay isnt the route i should be going down...?

Just look for machined sprockets rather than pressed ones.

There's the obvious like Surly, Shimano (though some say that the 17t Dura Ace sprockets are an urban legend), Miche (I hate the carrier system though), Andel etc but there's plenty of others and as long as you stick to machined the quality shouldn't really drop too low.

the all city ones look good, stainless steel but much less expensive than some of the better known ones

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:

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

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