Chris Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 has anyone tried the new trialtech sprockets yet? I don't want the drilled ones (what a stupid idea btw). So it'll be either this one or one of the surlys or the gusset bachelor. I'm just worried about the chain skipping.. I had it with a king and it was horrible.. but I read about skipping chains with the surly as well... So I'm unsure which one I should go for...

Bionic Balls Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 would definitely go for the cheapest one.... i have the gusset and it's been just grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 drilled sprockets are fine, I have had mine on for 8 months now and its done a grand job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 A mate of mine snapped a Drilled Plaz cog , not sure how long he had it but i believe it wasn't a very long time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yeh, i would steer clear of the Surley, every one i have had has skipped alot!I am running a 15t gusset one at the moment, had no problems what so ever Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessell Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 yeah, I heard a lot of those snapping, not so the rear cogs though!trialtech ones are the shiz well strong and look sweet! get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim/Trialsin USA Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) yeah, I heard a lot of those snapping, not so the rear cogs though!In fact, so many have snapped....that there has not been a previous thread on it (amazing since they have been out 3 years)..... .or screams from any of the importers for replacement. In fact, importers call and want more because of the lack of issues. Is it possible that one has snapped, yes....anything is possible. What should be the course of action? .... call the dealer and ask what can be done. I would be curious to see some pics so that it might be determined what happened. My guess is that maybe there was some defect in the metal in that one that allowed that to happen. I will pit the material and machining of White Industries (contract manufacturer) to any of the other less expensive ones pumped out of far east.

Peperami Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Have been running a trialtech 14t for two rides now... does the trick.From what i can see though, sprockets are much of a muchness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hi I’m currently running a CK ISO hub and I’m wondering whether performance improves with price as I’m trying to justify purchasing a CK KOG instead of the cheaper Trialtech equivalent with the wide base any advise would be grateful.Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16 years later Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Yeah are ck cogs better that the rest. Are they worth the money.you can get them cheaper on ebay http://search.stores.ebay.co.uk/Aspire-Vel...5584817QQsofpZ0Which would be the best 18t sprocket to go for.

N Roach Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 You can't go wrong with trial tech. I've used the sprocket on the rear for about 3 weeks now, have'nt had any problems and im not expecting any either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one was slating the company, just said that they had heard of a lot snapping, maybe people don't feel the need to bitch about a snapped sprocket because at the end of the day it's a £20 disposable item, not as if it's a £500 frame.

Muel Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'd go for the gusset, mainly because it's cheapest but it also has a wider base than the Surley.But if you want a 14t Surley sprocket I've got an almost unused one you can buy?

Dan81 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Ive got the drilled trialtech with the wide base. seems ok (should be for what they cost) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I had no problem with the 19th Surley I used (now using a 16th shimano, again, no problems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 It's not the fact that you did it, that's fair enough, it's just the way you worded it, there's no need to be a sarcastic ass for your entire life. You're a f**king dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
