Steel Sunstar sprockets are inexpensive and perform flawlessly. I purchased
them at a great price from Kiernan Racing http://www.braincell.com/kiernan/
. I've used the DID Gold X-ring for years now without a problem. Get the
clip type masterlink and safetywire it, or get a rivet type masterlink. I
know a lot of guys get the aluminum sprockets, but I'll say it again. The
steel sprockets last longer and in terms of weight savings, putting aluminum
sprockets on a GTS is like throwing an oar off the Titanic! :^) Seriously
though, a clip-type with safety wire or a dap of RTV is perfectly secure.
