VX3 chain and Renthal twin rings for me. I can get a ton of time out of this combo. What really sucks is how much all the chains have gone up the last few months. The VX3 is like double what it used to be along with all the other chain brands.
just tried the DDC code, doesn't work, bummer
I just emailed them. Code probably expired on the website. They usually have to be renewed every 6 months or so
Unfortunately inventory seems low too.

Aren't Dirt Tricks sprockets the one that have a tendency to bend and explode? I've seen one rip clean off a hub and demolish it, and it was cracked in 3 pieces however I've only seen it once and heard of it from others.
Most people run their chains to tight.
Chains don’t stretch. It’s wear in between the chain rollers pins and your sprocket. No stretching
Yep, minimum chain play on my YZF is 50mm, I've had people come up and tell me it's too loose and I reply that it's actually at the minimum play, aka as tight as I can go.
Had a buddy convince me to try Dirt Tricks back in 2017 and haven't looked back. Nearly bulletproof, 1-2 year warranty and one of the sexiest looking sprockets out there. Have consistently put 60-80 hours per sprocket and the only reason I don't go longer on them is because they stay with the bike after I sell them, though it's good to replace them at that point because I think they eventually eat chains quicker. They make a great countershaft sprocket too.
Also used the TM guides/sliders for quite a while but recently switched back to stock or rubber sliders. Noticed they keep the drivetrain quieter (especially if you wear ear plugs) and the chains don't flat spot as fast. It’s also hard to get ahold of TM products in Canada.
Gone back and forth between different heavy duty chains, but noticed the best results with the ERT3. Have a hunch that lighter chains are easier on countershaft sprockets but that’s just my experience.
I've run the erts , rentals and primary drive chains . I run them loose so they all last a while . I've seen people run them tight and snap a few . One guy did two in one day
For me, Flo sprockets and ERT3 chains on any displacement.
I run cheap aluminum sprocket with a ETR3 chain but i think im going to switch it up this time and go all steel with a oring chain
OEM sprockets and Firepower HD (non o-ring) chains for me. Usually 25ish hours before I change the set, sell the sprockets cheap on Marketplace, and trash the chain. We do ride a lot of sand though...
One thing I think a lot of guys miss is making sure the wheel is aligned correctly. It's like some folks don't know what the axle block etch marks are for - and even those can be off a bit. It's worth throwing a tape or set of calipers down there and checking things out.
Someone please explain to me the Sunstar situation. Are they not making sprockets all together, just not importing to USA anymore? Only making them for OEM?
I heard something about this, but don't know the full story.
I believe they went OEM only.
I go with the DID ERT3 chain.....doesn't really matter which brand of sprocket but i stay with the aluminum. I get about 40 hours before the sprocket needs replacement. At this time....the chain is shot as well. How are you guys using the same chain for multiple sprockets? Assume perfect maintenance with cleaning, lubing, and tightening the chain.
What do the guys with multiple rear wheels for the same bike do? I always get an extra rear wheel and never use it because the sprocket weaer doesn't match the chain wear.
My MX34 tire wheel gets like 1/4 of the hours my MX14 does. I still throw a new sprocket on when i do the MX14 and throw the 34 sprocket in the "its got potential" pile never to be touched again. Even though it has half its life left and the "potential" pile is 6 sprockets deep.
Pit Row
Because i have a broken chain phobia. I like my neck and my engine cases. Lol
Awesome, thank you! need a couple, appreciate it!
It blows me away with chains, rmatv and motosport has Did ert3s for $145, amazon has the same chain for $85….. been doing this for years, it’s ridiculous.
I don't think they get better looking than this,... and quality is excellent,
I've seen this several times and I am always concerned that he Amazon version is some sort of "knock off"
iv'e actually heard that is the case. Make sure you are getting the real thing before you buy
thank you! purchased!!
so funny, I have the same"pile" of semi used sprockets that will never see the light of day. It got so heavy at one point it blew the self off the cabinet!
Silicone spray won't breakdown xring rubber yo.
As long as the chain rollers are round what are you worried about them doing to the sprocket? I mean I guess if they are worn down so small that the chain doesn't want to fit around the sprocket, but I'm my opinion then it's trash anyway.
I’ve bought 8 of them within the last year. Never got a “fake” or “knock off” chain. Same packaging and chain as one off RM and motosport. We talked to a dealer about it, they said they can just ship them direct to consumers and cut out the middle man, and pass on the savings.
Agreed, I've been running this combo of dirt tricks and the gb520mxu for years. The xring I've found to be a bit wider and wear the sliders more. The UW ring is one of the best light weight sealed chains for sure.
