Alternative sprocket for Bafang / Luna. I compare the fit of a Lekkie Bling Ring to a no name copy. The measurements provided by the respective manufacturers proved useless so that's why I decided to make this video to help other people that had the same questions I did: Will it fit and is it better or worse. (It's better)

    Update: Although initially this sprocket worked better it's wearing out quickly, the narrow teeth are paper thin now and about ready to snap off at the tips. It appears to be made out of Chinesesium the alloy created when you melt all recyclables (Paper, cardboard, glass, Plastic, tin and aluminum) together. This alloy Changes directly from a solid to a gas when it starts to corrode! I hope Lekkie Is still in business' Because as soon as this thing falls apart I'm going to cough up the bucks and buy the real deal! It was worth a shot but I think in the end the Lekkis Is a better deal since it lasted probably 5 times as long and who knows what this thing is doing to my chain! I know what you're thinking: how many miles did I get out of it? Unfortunately I didn't record my starting mileage. There's an old saying: Sometimes the cheap is expensive.

    The copy works better than the original: That .015 inch difference in the offset Is noticeable: The bike shifts smoother and there's less chain noise. I'm definitely glad I rolled the dice on this one.
