Default Chain/Sprocket Kit

i know there is a previous post about this, but i used search and couldnt find it

im lookin for a kit that has the -1/+2 sprockets. and i would like to get the kit that also comes with the chain
on ebay the RK Quick Acceleration kit is the closest i can find, but it comes with just one tooth dropped in front, and stock in back

also, is the RK one better than the vortex? or is it just personal preference?

I have an RK chain and a vortex sprocket 520 conversion. Its personal preference of what brands you like. Some of the ebay sellers have a -1/+2 to sell, you just have to send the buyer a question and they will probably have it.

RK and D&D. can't go wrong. sprocketcenter.com makes it easy to buy kits. Haven't bought sprockets + chainsanywhere else.

Yeah I'm not sure if they sell vortex or not at SC.com. Personally, I've never had a problem with the generic sprockets. They seem to do the job just fine for me, but then again, i ride like an old lady. I've put 5000 miles on my D&D chain and have only adjusted it once... my a hare.

Why is your heart set on a Vortex Sprocket? Please don't say it's because of looks.

If you want to get your money's worth, I'd recommend an AFAM aluminum sprocket or a JT steel sprocket. Steel will last longer than aluminum. and a 525 will last longer than a 520. I know pretty much everybody "upgrades" to a 520, but it's such a negligible difference, you won't notice it.

DID all the way. best chain in the world. the plain steel version is just as strong as the ERV2 or whatever their fancy top of the line gold chain is. the only difference is the gold chain won't rust.

$0.02
