I had a Genesis Day One, running 44/16 fixed. Changed everything to 1 1/8 as parts were much cheaper and more easily available. Not as quiet but much stronger. This was a few years ago now.
Would recommend 1 1/8. I bought quite a few of the KMC chains then switched to the Izumi track chain. The KMC ones stretched out much quicker.

Time to change the chain on my Day One.
Currently fitted with a kmc (I think) 8 speed chain but every other bike I have runs a kmc 510 (1/8" singlespeed chain).
Do I switch to a 510 on the Day One so it's the same as all other bikes or stick to an 8 speed chain.
Chainring and sprocket on the Day One are obv 3/32" so I know some of you will say a 3/32" chain will run better but most of my other bikes have a 3/32" cog at at least one end and I don't have any complaints of how they run.
TLDR: 1/8" or 3/32" chain for singlespeed?
