Having difficulty finding anyone who has in stock or can sell me a new steel rear 43 tooth sprocket.
Can anyone advise who may have one for sale?
Thanks,

I always recomend steel front/aluminum rear. wears both the same change one--change both.-Rook.
Never had any luck or good life from an aluminum sprocket. Fronts last a really long time-almost 70,000 in my case. Getting nearly 30K out of a chain and more (50K? maybe) from the standard-size Supersprox.
I know it's conventional wisdom to replace the entire driveline as a unit, but I'm an "if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it" kinda guy and have seen no ill chain or sprocket effects from doing so. Since my front is original and the rear has worn out 2 chains, I probably WILL replace both sprockets when this chain is shot.

huh! 70k out of 1 front sprocket sounds good to me. I wouldn't change it if it still had 20k miles of service. If the other parts wear in twice and you still get that kind of mileags, no sense in changing the routine. Try the latest EK ZZ chain and you might be able to do the frontg sprocket and chain at the same time.
