Bicycles Asked on July 22, 2020
I am in the process of converting an old road bike of mine into a single speed. I bought new crank arms, rear wheel (with a conversion kit), and a rear derailleur.
Do I need to use a 3/32" chain, or can I use a 1/8" chain that I see being used on all other fixies?
Yes, you can use an 1/8" chain instead of 3/32", is the other way around you can't go.
However, it may have problems going through your deraileur, but we can't say for sure. For normal single speed or fixies that's not a concern.
I would use a normal 8 speed chain anyway, it'll probably be cheaper. Only get an 1/8" chain if you get track chainrings, or you want the colored chains, which I've only seen in 1/8" size.
