JT make decent sprockets...
Also "wemoto.com" sell steel sprockets which i've found to last well and are very well priced.

The best thing about wemoto is that they have nearly EVERYTHING in stock..They even have a stock indicator on the item.
I had a sprocket on order with my local shop for 2 weeks before i gave up on them. It was 2t less which made it strangly impossible for them to get..
Wemoto got it to me THE NEXT DAY with standard postage ! I use wemoto for everything now.

Sprockets
Hi.
Try a search for chaingang sprockets and also Sidewinder sprockets.
Both offer high carbon/titanium sprockets that are supposed to last 3 times longer than standard.
I have heard good and bad about both these but they may be worth a look.
Also, I have heard good stuff about Ironman sprockets, I suppose you'll just have to do a bit of research on these.
All the best, Dave.
