XTR 525 Sprokets
 
Hi...
I have been trying to fnd somewhere that sells 525 sprockets
for a XTR...
OTR sells sprokets & chain kits... But I don't want to ship a chain half way around the world when I can buy them here...
dose anyone sell just 525 sprockets ??

Thanks...
Theres are the standard size 520 sprockets...
May have to end up ordering from OTR ..:sad5:

I was thinking the same.. Extra miles on delivery.
But when I see the ZVM-X chain for �130 after buying the whole 525 set for �145 inc postage, what the hell. ;)

Ordered Sunday, Delivered Wednesday... OTR. :)
Delivered to work. I'm not at work today, hmm, guess I'll have to wait 'till tomorrow.

OK, own up, who put the standard 520 sprockets in the box with the 525 chain?
Not amazingly impressed.
Loosen front sprocket nut, split chain, drop rear wheel, remove rear sprocket, remove front sprocket (bytch), fit new sprockets, fit rear wheel, put new chain on.... Luckily I noticed the play in the chain/sprockets before I rivetted the new chain on!.. BOLX.
Ok put it all back as it was, waste of a couple of hours :(
Also lucky I had clip-link (temporary) on old chain so I could re-fit.

Hmm, not like I can ride to the shop to get the correct parts.
I don't know how much thicker the 525 sprockets should be? but I'm sure they shouldn't be the same thickness as the original 520 sprockets?

Before I do it all again, I will drill a piece of metal for pulling front sprocket off. :)

At least you are in the same hemisphere as OTR...
Knowing my luck that would happen to me...

LOL..might be the 525 kit... 525 chain on 520 sprockets..:Christo_pull_hair:

All in all, apologetic, correct sprockets dispatched, said to keep the incorrect sprockets - not worth the postage. Spares it is then. ;)

So maybe a supplier of 525 XT sprockets in the UK would be benificial.

Now heres another issue with not being able to buy 525 sprockets
on there own...
I usealy go though 2 or 3 front sprockets to 1 rear..front dose 3 times the work and a tighter radius so it wares quicker... Front sprocket will take the chain & rear sprocket with it , if yer let it get to worn...

Maybe better to stay with the 520 set up the more I think about it..
untill someone sells 14T & 45T sprockets on there own....

( thats where a lot of chain ware comes from... People exspect the front
sprocket to do the same mileage as the rear...)
