go with pitbull sprockets.

a few people have been complaining about driven sprockets lately. i suspect they did some changes to their manufacturing process.

edit: they do have diff. pitches available

most vortex sprockets are aluminum, that's why they wear faster. for a street bike, there's no need for aluminum, you'd never notice the weight difference on the street.

Yes, but around here, many people on sportbikes think they are Valentino Rossi or Nicky Hayden!

I rode to work yesterday, too. Easily the coldest temps I've ever rode in. Was 27 on the way home according to weather.com.

Hayden is one of the few I've seen back it in during a gp race.

The afam and driven sprockets are alloy too. Its the hardening process that makes the difference as well as the grade of alloy.

And I disagree on street use, you can notice the difference on the street if combined with a lighter, smaller 520 chain, coming from a 525 or 530 pitch.
