FJ111200 Too late!

I have ordered a chain already, I want to change the gearing to 18/38 so that wouldn't have quite worked for me. :(

Looking at the Wemoto web site, I can either buy unbranded sprockets @  Front Plus 1 Tooth £13.60  &  Rear - Steel - Less 2 Teeth £21.60

or  SunStar Front Plus 1 Tooth   £ 18.25 &  SunStar Rear - Steel - Less 2 Teeth £28.73.

Is it worth spending the extra money?

Well, if you get the SunStar, you know the quality you're getting.
If you buy the unbranded ones you are taking a chance, but IMO only a very slim chance that the quality will be any different.  The unbranded sprockets are probably made by one of the major manufacturers anyhow, like SunStar.
