    any recommendations for a site please.

    what's the wear on the Renthal alloy sprockets compared to steel ?

    Bikehps are very good to deal with? I’ve run alloy sprockets for years with no problems.

    Ive run Renthal Ultralights a few times. You do need to keep them clean and aligned, as soon as the coating is gone they wear super quick.
    So you need to keep a eye on them, whereas steel sprockets wear at a constant rate
    IMO without frequent maintenance steel sprockets/chain combos do tend to last longer,

    I’ve run Renthal for years with no issues, RK or DiD chains all good. Just ordered some Afam sprockets for an RSV4 1100 factory and they look equally as good. Sitta also make some excellent sprockets and can highly recommend them. I avoid Talon sprockets as I’ve had issues with them in the past…

    Go for Sitta Sprockets, a bit more expensive than renthal but far better IMO
