sure, why not? you can get middle of the road steel sprockets for about $20 less though (30-32oz) or aluminum too. you can get high end sprockets for about $20-50 more (supersprox, dirt tricks). I do not recommend the supersprox stealth if you're looking for weight reduction- it ain't there. dirt tricks ironman might be better there. if you wanna split the difference between the mid-level and upper-echelon, then your pick of the superlite might be the way to go. be careful when ordering counter shaft sprockets for our bikes; they're one-of-a-kind. not even other huskys can use them.
Thanks for the info. Yeah with my limited skills I am mostly going for durability with some weight reduction. For a beginning rider, (or for any I guess) do the aluminum sprockets tend to wear out faster, being a compromise for the weight savings? I never even thought of running aluminum sprockets on my street bikes of course...
nope, aluminum sprockets will usually last a bit more than the lifetime of a good chain; and since you should change all sprockets when installing a new chain it's no problem. ...slightly less rock and impact resistant. Mud can wear them too- but even in western oregon- it's not a problem. Most bikes come stock with aluminum sprockets in the rear. I like 'em because I feel they're slightly more forgiving to the chain. A bad chain will ruin a new aluminum sprocket fast though.
