I was wondering, which cam gears are under 200 a pair, but light as possible, without sacrificing strength. Thanks Guys

 

Skunk2 Pro-series.

 

I just bought a set of those on ebay, hope they are as good as they claim. Thanks

 

is lighter really better with a cam gear?

 

The weight of the gear would be the least important issue to me. So many of these "hollowed out" and lightweight gears eventually break!! Besides, the gears are so small that even with a lightweight gear you really aren't saving much weight at all. If I were to get a new gear I would look for the one with the most material. The new Bisimoto/Evolution gears are nice. Only 3 bolts, but they have serrations on the inner and outer face that lock into each other--you can only adjust them in 1 degree increments--but since they "lock in" its almost impossible for them to slip, even if there is only one bolt holding them together.

 

I run an old Jun gear on my d16. I like it because the outer gear is an oem piece--and the whole thing is 100% steel, so you can really crank down the bolts without damaging or stripping the gear. Plus the tooth profile is stock because the gear is a factory piece. I have seen some gears where the teeth weren't deep enough which increases the belts chances of slipping or jumping.

 

good to know, where can i find some of those?

 

BuddyClub cam gears are the only ones that are FORGED. Forged=lighter, Forged=stronger.
