During the build of the Micargi I came across some problems with my clutch/sprockets/chain when the bike was basically done and I did a lot of research and found & ordered from a whole bunch of different companies. One of the latest one I would like to recommend because of the sprocket types and sizes they offer and outstanding service.
Everybody here probably had to deal with companies which never even answer the phone or take 2 days to call back or answer an email - if at all - but there are a couple companies I really can recommend.
For example I was looking for larger #35 chain spockets for the jackshaft but one piece, not the cheaper quality ones which require a mount and 3 bolts and the following website offers a large collection and pick up the phone right away to be helpful as well as super fast shipping same day

I also ordered a bunch of parts from BMI Karts, which also ship pretty fast most of the time, but I recommend to call for orders, because the calculated shipping cost on the website are too high for me most of the time - but that could be because I live in PR and some people/websites might think thats in Asia. Only downpart here was the lack of tracking numbers after ordering and they send the tracking mostly when its already delivered but thats not a big deal.
Then I also have a little hint for clutch buyers. If you are looking for the Max Torque, you can get them from BMI Karts for $25 on their website. Its not described as the Max Torque but thats what you get when you order the $25 clutch
Hope that helps:

Also very cool and tons of products some other companies dont offer you can find here. Never talked to them on the phone but shipping was also same day and prices are good:

Then there is AGK (most people probably know them anyways already in here), also good products and prices and I got great help by email but honestly, big minus here is that many parts are not even in stock when ordering online and they usually dont even know when they arrive for them and I had the issue that after one refund for backorder parts, they wouldnt pick up the phone anymore with my number until a friend called to tell them to please take my call.
Still a good source for parts and they also ship fast and fair shipping costs and helped me a lot too.
