Rickalls Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 oh! cheers matei got a 22t front chain ring, would the front chain ring need to be changed if i got a single speed chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Probably not. If it's old and shark-toothed, it might be worth swapping anyway though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,like revolver said,if you have the same chain for 6years is highly likely you will have the same chainring and sprocket too. So it would be better if you change them too, reduces the chance of chain skipping. Edited September 30, 2012 by ghostrider88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickalls Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 ok, so what would you advice, do i spend a bit of money, get single speed chain ring, chain and new front chain ring. or buy a cassette chain again and fit it on. as i got a home made single speed setup with one cassette ring etc. the single speed chains, rings better?

If you have singlespeed setup, go with singlespeed parts,they are more reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
