all i can say is the new batch of andel sprockets are really nice, held next to a surly there isn't much difference.
my hub threads are very important to me so i never go cheap on sprockets or lockrings, just not worth it.

ive had 2 of those cheapest ones and one stripped a thread on the hub, the other wouldn't lock up tight enough.

The Andels are indeed nice. Got a 18T coming to me in fact.
You could go super-expensive and get a Phil Wood - they certainly go up to 20T but are gonna be double the price of the Andel...
I've stripped two hubs (well, both sides of a flip-flop hub) with a shitty cheap cog and it pi**ed me right off. THe relative hassle of relaving the hub compared to the cog makes it well worth while spending extra IMHO.
i'm after a 20t sprocket and was wondering if it's worth spending the extra and getting the andel http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b104s112p0 over something cheaper like this off the bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIXED-TRACK-COG-20T-3-32-width-fixie_W0QQitemZ370150838103QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR?hash=item370150838103&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 or even cheaper http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fixed-sprocket-3-32-nickel-high-spec-20T_W0QQitemZ230323207395QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR?hash=item230323207395&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
anyone got any horror stories about cheaper sprockets or do they tend to be fine?
thanks
