As a manufacturer, unlike most in the US and around the world that have adopted the Walmartization and Chinafication of everything to a level below what the Orient had in the 60s, I wanted steel sprockest and that is why I went with 7GD.
With the above mindset, there a few sayings that are the foundation of how I operate: 1)There is never enough time to do it correctly the first time, but always enough time to do it a second time. 2)There are no points for second place.
Unfortunately, even when one wants to do it correctly and properly and willing to pay for it in today's business environment, one's options are limited or nonexistent.
Who knows, maybe I'll do the investment and start making sprockets myself.
If all I wanted was to use a CB1100 for a while until my next bike, and didn't care about who bought it after me, aluminum might be an option, but this is probably the last bike I will purchase or own so I want it to last without redoing things over and over. Remember 1st, 2nd time saying.
