Rear sprocket for SSA bikes?

Hey guys, I'm looking to replace my sprockets/chain as they're starting to get a little worn. I'm a little confused about changing the rear though as it's my first time doing it on an SSA bike. Almost everywhere I've looked only sells sprockets made to work with the quick change sprocket carriers. I don't need that ability and especially don't want to spend a couple hundred on the carrier itself. Can I not just get an OEM style sprocket and mount it using the existing hardware?

... quick change sprocket setup. Costwise, it's a wash, assuming you will replace your sprocket at least one more time, and... of course... it makes it much easier.

I never got the "quick change" thing. In fact I think it's faster doing a regular sprocket as you only have one big nut to undo and torque back versus 6? smaller nuts.

If you decide Not to go the quick change route look at supersprox for a oem type replacement. Oem may be the longest lasting but at the highest cost.

Supersprox are top quality and last longer than oem in my experience.
