Replaceable sprocket nose Sprocket noses are replaceable on STIHL ROLLOMATIC® ES Super guide bars. Unlike some guide bars, the sprocket nose is anchored by three rivets instead of one. Tests at STIHL in Germany show that a bar tip anchored by three rivets could last from two to three times longer than a bar tip anchored by only one rivet – another reason to choose STIHL guide bars.
