Diff'rent Strokers

[James P]

I still haven't got my SDR, but am looking around for parts I will probably need to fix it up. I have found that sprockets are a bit thin on the ground but, for the interest of SDR owners, I managed to get in touch with a company that makes them:

I understand this company was the former Japanese branch of AFAM. As well as making sprockets, it also supplies DID and RK chains, as well as Pro-X and Mitaka engine parts.
I sent off an enquiry and soon received a reply from the the man-in-charge Jun Oshiro, who speaks English well. After easy dealing, the sprockets arrived in less than a week.



The sprocket part numbers for standard sizes are:
Front - C3213-16T (price 2500JPY - about A$25)
Rear - A3206-43T (price 8000JPY - about A$80)
I understand that different numbers of teeth are available by special order, as well as different anodised colours for the rear sprocket.

Although these and a couple of other types of sprocket are available elsewhere (e.g. various sellers on Yahoo Japan), I'm happy to give XAM a mention because of the quick and easy service.

James
