And Slim, any 'chain slippage', would be because someone doesn't have proper chain tension, or because they're stupid and are riding around on a bent/broken sprocket. Also, DK isn't really DK anymore.
Street Rider is right, again! You could just build the bike yourself and then take it to your friendly neighborhood bike shop mechanic. I think sometimes, Walmart has its greeters to install components.

* If you have a bike co-op nearby, you can build it yourself at the co-op!

And Street Rider, 'chain slippage' could also be due to the wrong chain intially installed or wrong chain length...

PS.

I didn't know that DK had changed...I think I'll take the decorations down then...
