Danny Kearns Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I think it al depends on weather you are running gear's or singlespeed.Im pritty sure its 3/32.Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 on my mates the 1/8 chain rubs on the bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Using a wider chain such as a wide Kool, it will rub for a while (as mine is currently), untill it wears in enough and settles down fine. Using a narrow Kool or similar, it won't rub at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future orange 660 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 ok cheers.so it is about the width not the pitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Interesting....Had the same problem just the other day!Went from running single speed and a Kool chain to gears and a mtb chain.It's mtb size but can run bmx chain also, but as i found out the other day, going from running a kmc chain back to a mtb chain can cause problems!The larger chain will buffer the edges of the cog out and every so slightly change the shape of the gear, but nothing a mini file and some patience couldn't solve.Hope that helps, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I don'r know for definate if it's 3/32 but I'm guessing it is designed for MTB chains being Middleburn. I'd say it's worth getting a 3/32 chain as the teeth should last longer as the 1/8 will cause it to wear faster. You can get away with a 1/8 chain on a 3/32 set up but I'd go for an 8spd Kool chain. The pitch does make a difference if you run a 1/8 chain then try to run a 3/32 chain as everything will have worn to suit the 1/8 chain.Hope this helps.
