It's been done before... I'm sure the oldschoolers here will remember Addicks chainwheels: http://www.bmxnonstop.com/oldschool/sprokets.htm
They didn't work that great but that was a long time ago. I'm sure with technology the new stuff will work a lot better.
It's a composite, not just plain plastic. Supposedly they've been testing them a while with the same wear as a traditional sproket.
ahh the good ol days...I'm willing to bet they're a lot better now...I can see them becoming pretty popular except for street riding...D

Yeah the "Back in the Day" ones didn't work out to well... I have to say I am a skeptic but if it works great.... I know the plastic pedal rage is now in full effect as well and I know people have not gotten much life out of them around here...
I'll bet it makes for a super quiet drive train. def looks interesting...
I'm all over that when the other sizes come out...
whoa... I saw this on Albe's too, but didn't realize it was polymer! just breezed by it. and it's insane how they ACTUALLY list weight by showing "with" and "without Sticker"!? wow... 1.4oz w/out and 1.6 with apparantly...
something new.... I'm down for progression. but will it go the same way as Macneil's plastic/urethane bottom bracket cups?
