was wondering what will hold up good, keep my chain in good shape. all around decent metal. Is alum to weak? And will steel rust?

An aluminum sprocket will wear ALOT faster.
Steel will last long but will rust. I personally like the aluminum sprockets but everyone has their own preference.

Personally I eat up aluminums like a knife going through butter. I take a new steel, Clean it up with carb cleaner, Put a lil heat to er, and spray it down with some Cold Gal. Looks good, Lasts a good long time and never rusts. Same with the front.... Ride on !!!

I tried an aluminum Renthal rear sprocket once, never again. In 4 months it looked terrible, worse than the stock steel rear looked after a couple years.

Stick with steel, aluminum isn't worth it.

Steel, without a doubt. Don't worry about rust but if you do, clean it up every year or two.

well hey, thanks for all the replies. You've made my decision. Different things for different people. I think the steel will work best for me.

thanks again
