Should You Replace Sprockets with Chain?

Change The Sprockets With The Chain
If you determine that your chain is constantly getting stuck and lubrication is not increasing the smoothness of your ride, it's likely time to get a new chain. However, when you replace your chain, it's a great idea to replace your sprocket at the same time.

Do I need to replace my sprockets with chain?

Being experts in chain care, we advise replacing both the chain and sprockets at the same time to ensure both peace of mind and optimum performance delivery. It's true that you don't need to always replace them at the same time, however in our experience, it's best to keep it simple and consistent.

Can I put a new chain on old sprockets?

Normally, chains and sprockets should be changed at the same time. To not do so may cause accelerated wear on both the new chain and the old sprockets. If your old chain had stretched enough to need changing, you can bet the sprockets are worn, as well.
