that's got to be one of the longest run-on sentences i've read. :doah:

if you want to know what it is, post some pics in the "what is it?" section. also, try to keep questions to a minimum in here. if you want to know about where to find stuff or whatever, it's best to post in the general section.

I purchased a sears mini bike model 39180940 the other day. I was sad to find the chain slips off the bike. I figured it needed a new chain. I looked it up on the sears website and was disappointed to discover that the chain is no longer available from the sears website. it said the chain was a #35-116 pitch chain. If anyone knows where you can get old bike parts please contact me.

Also, I was looking at bike chains online and it looked like all the chains come in 10' or 100' lengths. Can you get them in smaller lengths?

Also wanted to know how can you tell if the problem is a stretched chain or a worn out sprocket? I am new to mini bikes but the sprocket seems to work fine. The teeth aren't worn down at all.

:confused:
