hi guys :)

ok since ive had my MB (about 4 years) ive always ran plastic spur gear with alloy carrier & steel pinion. Ive only just replaced the plastic spur (after almost 4 years!) with a new one as my old one had seen better days ^^


anywayz ive only had the new one on about 3 weeks (less than 4-5 tanks through it) but after today it looks worn already!? ...but ive also just fitted DDM Dom pipe (torque) as until now ive never had a tuned pipe... so im guessing the extra power/torque is just ripping through my spur?

The mesh is good & runs freely so its not that, not too tight or lose but after today its already showing signs of wear...so ive decided to maybe go for a steel spur which will give me an all steel setup for the gears this a good idea?

Ive never been a fan of all steel gears as i prefer to lose one of my stock gears than pushing damage internally, but i don't fancy shelling out £10-15 every couple of weeks for new spurs :(

If i was to go for a steel spur the one ive seen is this one for £30:

but what carrier would i need for it? as at the mo i have this carrier which is no good for the above gear:

I run all steel and have no problems,they are just a little noisey when you start to roll to a stop,go for the steel;)
 
will do ta mate :)

don't suppose u know what carrier id need for the gear above?

like i say at the mo im using stock spur wit alloy carreir so the gear above wont fit onto my current carier, i guess i need one that the gear bolts onto ?
