According to the guys at david silvers the 35T rear sprocket is now discontinued. I can have one made by bc express from an alloy blank at a cost of £43 im guessing tax and post on top. So does anyone have a 35t sprocket they don't need or should I change the gearing for what is available ie 37t or get one made? Opinions please.

If your bike has a 350 kit the 35 or 34 tooth sprocket is probably too much. A standard 305 used 30T I think.

I'm just going off what was fitted when I got it. The sprockets aren't completely worn out so maybe I should wait until I have it running and see how it goes then decide which I need but I will still ring and see what they can do. Thanks guys.

That would make a lot of sense. If you are going to use it on the road you probably will want different gearing anyway.
