This and as Vexpro expands teams are using more and more and trying new things meaning more demand. Who knew we'd have elevators meaning a high demand for chains and sprockets for lifting.

Our team purchased an insane number of sprockets this year for 25 chain, something we've never used before but I think we ended up with close to 80 sprockets by the time we had what we needed and ordered for spares. Glad we were able to help a few teams at the Championship who needed 18t hex sprockets that ran out a long time ago.
