N.Wood Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I immediately thought of the name Boone? Seem to remember they made very trick sprockets. But other than that i can't help, sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 sperockes, i couldnt have spelt that more wrong my self:Pand i belive the only ones that used to be avalible were made by edd tounge and his little operation he had going on a few years ago, they were actually usuable though apparantly, just there to make up the 5 extra gears you needed to enter competitions back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 You can get a Shimano XTR cassette which is Titanium. I don't think that's much use to anyone, but meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 So who's gonna make them first? Trialtech or heatsink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ti is over rated. Stainless steel is where its at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 The only thing that gets hooked faster than small Ti sprockets is Amy Winehouse and crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 The only thing that gets hooked faster than small Ti sprockets is Amy Winehouse and crack.Surely they're better than alloy sprockets though?Anyway surely there's better ways to save weight than this?

Al_Fel Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Surely they're better than alloy sprockets though?Anyway surely there's better ways to save weight than this?yeah an alloy rear sprocket ha ha. Ti will save funk all weight from steel. Like I said its over rated. People think ti is some sort of wonder material thats stronger than steel and lighter than alloy but its actully just the bit in the middle.

ZeroMatt Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 There are some really nice EAI sprockets that you could use with a fixed wheel and ffw setup. They aren't actually ti but have a titanium nitride coating which is much harder than the hardest steels. They are used for track bikes really but could possibly be used for trials, would last a really really long time. Costs 61 quid without shipping to the UK though. I'd say thats rather steep.

NVWOCI WVS Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 If you ask edd potts very nicely he might make you one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 a ti rear sprocket with nitride coating would be the dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
