You'll have to use 520 pitch sprockets to suit the chain. As for the sprocket size, it depends on what type of riding you do I guess.

That might be 525 pitch, as that's what's standard.

It's the recorded air mail delivery to Sweden that costs - and they are Hard anodised ally race sprockets - if you want cheap steel road sprockets sent via boat no problem - a lot cheaper - approx 50%.

Go off and get a delivered quote for the 3 x steel sprockets delivered via Air mail and come back to me.

Its always best and sensible to compare like with like.....

It's right, you get what you pay for, Race spec stuff costs money. On the positive side it should last longer
