Anyway he was extremely helpful and I will try them first next time.
Thanks again for the help,

wow! Good news! You're really lucky to find a guy that knows your bike, lucky you found an OEM rear sprocket! Fronts are easier to find, rears can be tough. If you plan a long ride ... don't cheap out on the Chain.
DID X ring is a MUST HAVE. Also, carry at least TWO spare front sprockets and replace fronts every 8K miles or so ... this will extend your chain life by nearly double. The front wears first and then proceeds to eat up your chain and rear sprocket. A fresh front really keeps things in better shape for more miles.
Good luck Mojo!
