Sprocket Choice |
|
As a consumer it is best to know why you are choosing a superior product. Mass produced sprockets from overseas are made from low grade mild steels that suit low cost global distribution and competitive pricing. Chain Gang sprockets are produced only from high carbon steel, selected for its long life wear capabilities; however the steel is so tough mass production cutting methods simply fail. Australian made Chain Gang sprockets are cut using a laser, which allows the use of tougher materials and provides a level of precision never seen before in the sprocket world. Original equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket sprocket manufacturing methods including hobbing and stamping, can result in undercutting, where the tooth and other dimensions can be as much as half a millimeter out from specification.
