Normally not - but a 525 is also heavier

In some cases when byuing a chain it has to be shortened, am I right?

You can just open it with a chain tool and use a rivet link to close it again. It is the same as when your shorten it. If you by a closed chain you have to make sure that you get it in the right length.

Does an alu sprocket works good or is it much weaker than a sprocket in steel?
It must be some benefit in performance with a leightweight sprocket? |
In my experience alu sprockets does not last as long as steel. So if you wants longevity 525 and steel, if your wants performance then 520 and leightweight alu :-)
