Went on dirt tricks site to check out a timing chain tensioner for my ktm cause the stock ones blow and saw this.
has anyone ever used one? They look cool.

I have a steel sprocket on the bike I bought that looks like that except black. If you can deal with it looking a little rusty they last forever.

They are good because they are steel and only a little heavier.
I wouldn't run that design with an aluminum sprocket.
No problems at all with mine.

I've bought 3 dirt tricks sprockets in the last 10 years, one for each bike I've owned in that time. Each one went through at least 5 chains (except current one, too new), and the sprocket stayed with the bike(s) when sold because they were still good. 12+ off road races a year plus practice and recreational riding. There is no better value in sprockets.
I have the zirconium on my current bike.

Man , not much material there. 
They really have that long of a life? They actually look trick as heck with that heat treating thing they have going on.

Have maybe 20 hours on mine, and it's like brand new.
The only issue I have is that I don't get much life out of chains. I usually replace counter sprocket and chains at the same time, but IDK if the IronMan is destroying my chains.
If so, I'm not sure if it would be worth it to just stick to cheap aluminum sprockets and replace everything at once.

you'll get more than that start thinking in terms of the whole season you'll change it cause your bored with it not cause it wore out or you'll sell that bike with it on

For anyone interested in getting one, another member posted this. 20% off and free shipping with code JkopMX17 when used on Dirt Tricks website. Makes them a little cheaper.

Old renthal i had hanging in the garage. Weights 13.50 oz which is just under a lb. Dirt tricks claims 1.5lbs on theres, so thats 24oz. Iam tempted to take the vortex off my ktm and the super sprox off my SUSZUKI.
