S&M Goring Guard Sprocket (25T, 28T, 30T)

The S&M Goring Guard Sprocket is a signature sprocket designed by UK team rider Nathan Goring, featuring an integrated guard design with four shield cutouts and four mounting positions. Built for durability and style, it protects your chain and drivetrain from impacts during grinds and ledge tricks while maintaining a clean aesthetic. Manufactured in the USA from Goring's UK-based design, it's available in multiple tooth counts and finishes to match different riding styles and builds.

Key Features

• Integrated guard design – Built-in sprocket guard protects chain from contact with grind surfaces, reducing chain damage and preventing hang-ups on ledges and rails
• Four-shield cutout pattern – Signature design reduces weight while maintaining guard strength; shield openings also serve as visual alignment markers
• Four mounting positions – Multiple bolt hole orientations allow sprocket rotation to distribute wear across different tooth sections, extending usable life
• Multiple tooth count options – Available in 25T, 28T, and 30T to accommodate different gear ratios for technical riding (lower tooth count) or speed-focused setups (higher tooth count)
• USA manufacturing – Domestic production ensures consistent quality control and material standards

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This sprocket fits standard BMX cranks with compatible bolt patterns and spindle diameters. Verify your crank's specifications before ordering, particularly spindle bore size and bolt circle diameter. The integrated guard design makes this ideal for street riders who frequently grind ledges, rails, and other obstacles where sprocket and chain contact is common. The 25T option suits technical riders prioritizing quick acceleration and easier manuals, the 28T provides balanced all-around performance, and the 30T offers higher top speed for faster riding or racing applications. Multiple mounting positions extend sprocket life by allowing rotation once teeth show wear. Available in three finishes for color-matched builds. Note that guard sprockets add slight weight compared to non-guard designs but provide significant protection for aggressive street riding.
