I ride Ducatis, but I believe my source covers Honda as well -- Sprocket Center. He can get anything if he doesn't already have it in stock. I'm not familiar with the setup for you bike, but it sounds like C_Steve_G is -- probably good advice there. I run steel rears on both my Ducs; I do long distance/endurance riding, the the aluminum sprockets don't come close to the mileage I want/need.

For whatever it's worth to add, I personally recommend AFAM (or Sprocket Specialties in a pinch) front and rear sprockets with DID chains (ZVM2 preferred or ERV3 in a pinch). I have had specific bad experience with RK chains, and I do not recommend them.

Back to photographic discussions now -- sorry for the bike-speak. It's hard for me to avoid when the subject comes up. ;)

Possibly the web-site is re-sampling:- the avatar is 149x103 whereas bnilesh's version is 150x104. Try shaving down your version to be 149 long and uploading it.

OK Here is the version with 149 px wide.


Hope this helps.

If you are using Firefox 3, be aware that when you zoom-in (ctrl+) it will also enlarge pictures. This creates noticeable artifacts when the source image is small. You may want to disable this behavior by checking the "View -> Zoom -> Zoom Text Only" option.

The website is reducing the filesize, or the site you're hosting it on is. bnilesh's edit was 27kb, the one presented on the bike forum is 6k.

Thanks alot! Sucks I've already spent $160 on this setup and it looks like I'll need to start over again. +2 sounds good though, I'd like a little more low end.

Great thanks for the advice!!! I'll check those places out. I'll never go aluminum again.
