pointer2null 106 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Order a chain and sprocket set from fleabay and the front sprocket isn't a JT branded one. Contacted the supplier and they said they had substituted a Chiaravalli one isead as out of stock on JT. I've never heard of Chiaravalli sprockets - are they any good or cheap and nasty? Not sure whether to accept it or reject the order. Link to post
DaveM59 1,605 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 If it was electrical I'd be wary (Italian electrics!) but their engineering is sound. May even be better than JT, as where are JT made? They seem very reluctant to admit exactly where the factory is, only letting on where their distributors are. Link to post
embee 7,288 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I've not come across them before, but from their website it looks like production might well be in Italy, in which case worth a punt I'd suggest. As Dave says, JT probably aren't going to be made in "Yurp" even though they are generally well respected. http://www.chiaravalli.com/ Only thing to watch for is whether the sprocket is symmetrical on the splined hub. The OE part is symmetrical but some folk have had pattern parts which are offset. We're not talking huge expense so even if in a few thou miles you decide it doesn't look good you haven't lost a great amount. Keep an eye on it. Link to post
