brass monkey!:
okay BMX brains (Pete ?  ;)) , whats the answer to this one then?


I'm selling an Izumi Chain, size: Size is: 1/2" x 3/32"

I know that standard size is: 1/2" x 1/8" - however I have fitted similar ones of this size before, a while back  ::) .....but can anyone tell me what chainring/sprockets the 3/32 size defo fits ???

GREMLIN:
I have 3/32 chains fitted with Redline bubble script, Sugino and Sr chainrings.
All of these run with Shimano freewheels on my builds, so i can only vouch for these  :daumenhoch:   G.

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) 3/32 should fit most "race specific" sprockets,unsure about brands other than should fit on Profile Imperials OK...

phantom photon:
I fitted a 3/32 chain by mistake with a 44t sugino chainring and it didn't fit properly.

GREMLIN:
I now remember reading that very early Redline chainrngs couldn't accept 3/32 chains. This was on the 1st Carrera's. But was soon sorted.
With the Suntour chainrings... I'm running 2 x 44t Sugino rings on my 2 Leary Turbo's.
One with a D.i.d 3/32 and one with an Izumi 3/32 and both fit fine with no issues. These are one of the Sugino chainring types tho... :-X
I think with anything there'll always be discrepencies.    :daumenhoch:   G.
