Well, the size of the chain also varies. I'm not sure what kind comes with the kit, but if you use 35 chain, you best have 35 drive sprockets and 35 wheel sprockets.

I'm also pretty sure that despite the weight, most teams will go with a chain-drive system.

Thanks for adding in that little bit, though. I forgot to mention that you link it with chain.
