SPROCKETS FOR 35 CHAIN
« on: 19 Apr 22, 12:20 pm »
Hi all,  I have come up with a bit of a stopper on my Cyclekart (promise to start a build-blog as soon as I have some spare time).  I want to use a 35 chain but struggling to find suitable driven sprockets (about 75T to 80T).  I have found some in Australia but postage is £58!!!!!!  Does anyone know where I can get some in the UK?

Have you tried calling someone like bearingboys.co.uk?

hi Stefan,

i bought a Cadet kart (minus engine and wheels) last week, so was looking to find a kart sprocket that would fit the existing sprocket carrier.  They have them in Australia but not apparently in the UK.  Consequently, next step is to use industrial sprockets, but these seem to have a small bore.  Found ones with 3/4" bores so far, so looking for ones with larger bores.  May possibly have to enlarge the bore to suit.  Kart ones are still my preferred option though if i can find some.

Ring these guys https://www.kartstore.uk/   They have some 35 sprockets. I bought some a week back.

thanks, thats greatly appreciated.  I am finding that a lot of kart shops product descriptions are lacking detail.  I presume thats because experienced karters know the manufacturers and their products inside out.  Consequently difficult to do usefull searches using technical data.

Thanks Rhys, phoned Kartstore and not only do they have the sprocket I need, it will also fit my existing sprocket carrier, so a great result  ;D  This is a major obstacle out of my way and I can proceed with tying the reax axle to the chassis.
