Sounds like thrust is using some junk ass aluminum. Hence why they were probably cheaper.

+100000000 on Driven.

I now know what im going with next..Driven.

Last set I got was Vortex..only reason I got these were because its the only thing the shop had and I HAD to have something that day(broke 3 teeth off on old shitty sprocket). Never again..my vortex is wearing like crazy as well.

vortex are not hardened aluminum so they do wear fast, I'm sure these Thrust probably aren't either... BUT DAMN thats a lot of wear. Proper chain slack?

it's in proper range. me and my brother (that's his sprocket) take the time to make sure things are proper.
