When my bike was new and in good mechanical shape, there were all kinds of sprocket kits out for it. Now it is 2 yrs old, has 23K miles, and I cannot find a sprocket kit to save my life? Am I missing something? I would like 15T c/s, 46T (stock) rear, and a darn chain to fit it all together! What am I missing? Help, please? doug

Aluminum sprockets are worthless, the amount of weight you save is not worth it. They just don't last very long vs the steel sprocket.

Some of the ones out there have steel teeth for the durability but aluminum centers to save weight. I think Vortex makes them.

Stealthsprox is what you're talking about - it's what I use. TBH the weight though is nearly identical to the stock steel sprocket.

PS Vortex rears are all aluminium
