[Kaptain Krunch]

Very weak, i've broken bike sprockets/chains just pedaling.

wuts dif about it

gokart sprockets and stuff are much beefyer and bike ones are smaller and lighter because they dont need to be as strong.

you now that trash bag commercial where there like
"Hefty Hefty Hefty, Wimpy Wimpy Wimpy"
the hefty is the normal go kart sprocket and chain, and the wimpy is the bike gears and chain. bike chain and sprockets are just built cheaper and not as sturdy because bikes don't create as much torque as a go kart does.
