I'm planning on getting a new 48 tooth rear sprocket, I know Alum is lighter and more expensive but does it really wear out faster and does the lesser weight really make a difference? or should I just get a good quality steel sprocket. All opinions welcome.
BTW I am planning on getting a RK XSO Series X-Ring Chain.

Good stuff Dave, how much is that sprocket I couldn't find a price on the website? I saw that sprocket on a link at the ADV site, it was a good article a about chains http://www.quality-cycle.com/truth_a...cle_chains.htm
That sidewinder looks just like the stealth from the above link.

I know they are way more expensive, but I went with the Sidwinder Tri-moly 49 tooth sproket for the lifetime carbon fiber teeth and the light weight aluminum body.
I round off my sprokets pretty quickly so for me, this made the most sense.

WARNING - NOT A COST EFFECTIVE OPTION - BUT A VERY HIGH QUALITY ONE....

All opinions welcome? OK I think that Canada should stop dumping raw sewage in the ocean, I think cats are the best pets, even though my wife is allergic and I can't have one, I think Chinese food is the best, and I could eat it 5 days a week. I think I-Pod's and 22 inch wheels are over-rated, and I also think global warming is over exaggerated. I think using IMO in every post is being abused, and finally I think they should invent a pill that would help you with whatever is wrong with you without adding symptoms that are worse than what you have in the first place...............................oh the sprockets, whoops my bad. Uhhhhhhh I don't know, I'm still a noob.
