Re: [ST] Front Sprocket Washer

["Louis Jiannine" <LouJ9@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I just picked up my 18T countershaft sprocket today.  I was quoted $68 when
I ordered it but today when I picked it up they charged me $40.  What a
deal.

I went looking for a 36 MM socket and did not have much luck when looking at
socket selections, but an auto parts store had a 36mm 6 point with 1/2"
drive (I was in heaven) and it was called something like a "front axle
socket".

Who is recommended as having 45t rear steel sprockets for Sprint ST?
