Re: Aluminum Gears

Call around to local gear shops and have some custom made. Our gear shop has offered to make use AL gears for the last few years but we never went thru with it because we didn't feel the weight savings would be worth the possible strength issues.

Rino is the only place I've found that has what I'm looking for, but I still need to find out their price.

Berg has only 16 pitch as far as I know

SDP-SI has 24 pitch but only in 3/16" face width.

Let me know if you know of anywhere that has them.
