Return. You can get second hand 17t cogs here for cheaper in better quality

I was in the market for a good, mid-range cog at an affordable price
Dura Ace it is then.

Honestly thought 'velodrome shop' was well and truly dead, and known for just being a bunch of scummies, but here we go, more jokes.
So the cog in the image is a EAI cog thats been photo shopped, the cog in the photo is yeah, about £8 worth. Quite a few do this 'rrp x, sale price y', been around for decades.
Have you tried it on a hub, runs true and round? You'd be surprised how many cogs aren't! -
Machining of the teeth is pretty different
While the forensic data analysts have had at the images to prove that what they sent is not what they advertised, the forensic metallurgists might wish to compare the description "CNC Hardened Steel" and "accurately machined" with the obviously stamped, and in all probability soft, sprocket you have in your hand.

Just a little extra to this. That sprocket looks identical to the ones that come with Novatec track hubs. I've got a few in my parts box because they used to come as standard on complete wheels my old work sold but they'd bin the sprockets because they're crap.

sorry for digging up an old thread, but I need your opinion on this:
I ordered a 17t "elite" sprocket at their website. https://www.velodrome.shop/track-sprockets/velodrome-shop-elite-1/8-track-sprockets/
I was in the market for a good, mid-range cog at an affordable price, since I was hesitant to splash the money on an eai deluxe cog.
The item I received was underwhelming to say the least (see photos). Me being far from an expert, I still find the cog really disappointing quality-wise. Machining of the teeth is pretty different. Also, there is no ring-shaped notch in the front face of the cog - a total mismatch of website and reality...
What do you think of the quality of the cog they sent me? Worth an original retail price of 30 pounds or just rubbish?
cheers
