14 tooth sprocket availability.

WTF........

Tried to buy a couple of 14 tooth sprockets from my usual supplier today, and both his sources (Afam & Renthal) have stop producing a 14 tooth sprocket to suit the XC.
So, after a bit of a search round, JT Sprockets of USA are producing the item, and I have also found that www.wemoto.com are listing the item.
I have also sent a request to Renthal asking why they are ceasing production?

Sounds about right for me too....

It's time for a few new ones..... order going in.
And, it looks like Talon is the only outlet now for 14T sprockets..... Rewnthal have definately ended the production of this size sprocket.

Stefan does 13T thru to 16T.

Tough call! both Stefan and talon are both worthy suppliers that deserve the business IMHO

But Talon are English engineers and Stefan's sprockets are nearly twice the price..... so even with my very small brain, I know who's getting the custom.
