Short answer: Because a 'rebuild'--or just about any 'repair'--will cost at 
least $200, and is unnecessary if the speedo is otherwise working well. $25 (+ 
shipping, tax) plus a couple hours' work vs. $200+ (+ shipping, tax) ... 
owner's call. 

FWIW, I've done both; just depends on the condition of the speedo.

Why not just send them the speedo to rebuild. They will install another gear if 
required and charge acordingly. They are not going to sell a gear alone because 
they need them to repair what comes in for rebuild.

Bakelite, perhaps? 
I've had speedos with both types of gears; I think the Bakelite ones are 
actually a bit sturdier. The plastic ones tend to crack radially, which causes 
the indicator needle to bounce regularly, proportional to speed.
