Slipped a chain, luckly its vietnam so I only had to push the bike down 200 feet of highway and 1 intersection before I found a Honda shop. I’m lucky I wasn’t stranded in some mountains or offf-road.

    There’s only 2 sprockets on a bike, since it uses a geared transmission. I got my chain and sprockets replaced for 18USD, labor included, which I suspect is somehow more than it would cost for a non-single speed bicycle, because bicycles prices are weird.

      Under $20 explains why nobody worries about it. You could probably extend the life of the sprockets by replacing the chain, but it’s not worth the hassle at $20 for a whole new set.
