Chains?

(1/1)

mattfx81:
I've always had izumi chains on my os rides but what chain do I need for my new school race bike that has a cassette hub? Whats the difference between a 1/8 and a 3/32 in regards to the sprockets you run?

HEYWOOD BMX:
 I use Izumi chains on my newschool racebikes.Chain won`t make a difference if you`re running a cassette or freewheel.3/32 is slightly narrower and different pitch to 1/8.Profile cogs and ACS Claws freewheels will run either chain without probs.Most race chainrings will only fit 3/32 chains.

mattfx81:
So what chain should my kuwahara have, it has the stock funn chain ring and cassette hub?

HEYWOOD BMX:
Any 3/32 chain should fit.
