Rear Sprocket

[DBD]

I need a new rear sprocket. I'm finding aluminum and steel available- which do I want? Any leads on what / where to order for best quality / price balance?

Aluminum sprockets were created for racing to reduce the weight. Steel is stronger and wears better. If you are on a tight budget, either will work.

P.S. You should change BOTH sprockets AND the chain at the same time (unless those were done recently).

Steele on the front and aluminum on the rear. Has always worked for me.
