Default Supersprox or Ironman ?

Has anybody got any thing to say about Ironman or Supersprox i am thinking of getting one of these are they worth the extra money against renthal or talon? I am guessing that there is not much in it for wear out of the two does anybody know which is lighter ?

and lastly who's doing some good chain sprocket deals i am in the UK but with the good exchange rate to dollers it may be worth ordering from USA

I put a Stealth (now Supersprox) rear sprocket on my '01 GasGas XC300 (with a new chain). The stealth rear sprocket showed notable wear and tooth deformation at 680 miles.

I put an Ironman rear sprocket on my '06 EC300 (with a new chain). The Ironman rear sprocket has 600 miles on it and it shows slight wear.

I also put a new Ironman front sprocket on my '01 XC300 with a used chain. The Ironman sprocket has 960 miles on it and it has very little wear. Typically a Sprocket Specialists front sprocket would last about 600-700 miles before it started hooking.

The stealth sprocket is not warranteed against wear.

The Ironman has a 1 year wear out warranty.

The Ironman is notably lighter than the stealth sprocket.

Personally, I would not buy another Stealth Sprocket. I plan on only buying Ironman sprockets from now on.

Default sprockets

Cheers that was good to know ! Ironman sprockets are nearly 3 times the price of Talon or Renthal do you think they last 3 times longer ? i guess if i use a good chain (DID 520ERT) it should save changing this with the sprockets as its not good to put old and new together!

Try this website. If you get a package(sprokets and chain) it is not much more than Talon or Renthal. Ironman is the way to go.

I second that. He had a little trouble getting me the stuff because the mfg. was out of stock, but he was VERY communicative and went out of his way to do me right. I will definitely buy again from him.

Ironman is very good. I had a rear on my '03 outlast 2 chains. They last forever but will bend if you tag a rock, thats what finally killed it. I have a brand new set ready to go on my '07.

You need to compare the Iron Man to the new Renthal Twin Ring sprocket and not the regular one. The Twin Ring is big $$$ as well but might be easier for you to get than the Iron Man which I have no idea about availability in Europe. The Twin Ring is Renthals version of the Supersprox but probably better.

I have experienced good wear with the supersprox "stealth" and would not hesitate to order one again. Not sure what issue Eric had - a stretched out chain will wipe out any sprocket. Something obviously went wrong...

Supersprox is now selling the stealth again in the u.s. - for a while they were only available via krause sidewinder, etc.

That said, I will probably try the renthal twin ring next time around.
