the first set i bought the chain snapped after 2 years, but the sprockets are still good. the only reason the chain popped is because i went up a steep creek bank and the front stood up on me. mind you this is on a warrior though, but i'd not hesitate to buy them again.

also, i kept up proper maintenance on the chain as well. so, that only helps to extend life too.

I'll second the primary drive! Have Two years on my current set no problems! Just as strong as the high end ones!
The others are over priced and your paying for the name!

14/40 gearing with 18s very nice torque and nice bit of top speed I have always liked renthal sprockets but honestly they all seem to wear the same unless your spending really good money?
