How many miles on that sprocket? What type of maintenance intervals were used on it?

Yeah no shit!! Renthol FTW

Cause your vortex looks just like the one I use to have.

But I was smart enough to not buy another!!

The greatest question of all time right here.




I would NEVER EVER EVER buy a Vortex sprocket. I've seen way too many of those pieces of shit look like that. That should not happen to a sprocket EVER!

I clean and lube the chain every week. It seems to be ok.

The only reason I got another Vortek is it was the only thing I could get quickly.

Nobody makes a steel 520 rear for the SV.

A chain on that sprocket had to have taken a beaten. I think you should have replaced that chain at the same time as the spocket. How many miles were on that Vortex?

FAIL! thats 525, not 520. send me that old vortex, lemme crossref with some other stuff I might have and I'll see if I cant find a steel 520 rear off something else that would work. I note a lot of modern SS bikes have extremely similar style sprockets at least, so something is bound to match sooner or later.
