Chunky chain?

it's ok to use a normal road bike chain running SS isnt it, I don't need to get a 1/8" chain for it?

Just about done converting an old pug for the mrs. picking up the rear wheel tonight and so if the chain she's got will be ok we'll be rolling tonight (woop!)

Yes it is fine assuming your chainring and sprocket/freewheel are 3/32.

freewheel is standard off a langster, so not sure.

think the langster may be a 1/8th chainset. (duck's for cover awaiting flaming)

would that mean i'd have to replace the chainring, as that is standard and so i'd assume 3/32

if this is the case, best to change

you may want to check the langster freewheel. my missus has recently obtained a 2009 langster and it looks to me 1/8. but not 100% sure

no, you need a 1/8 chain to match the cog, but you can keep the slimmer chainring. It doesn't really matter.

will check when I grab the wheel tonight.

So you can use a thicker chain (1/8) on a slimer chain ring (3/32), but not a thinner chain (3/32) on the thicker sprocket (1/8).

Precisely :-)

Also, and this probably won't apply to you. You can't use a Genesis Flyer chain on anything other than a Genesis Flyer freewheel (or some other weird sprockets that someone might enlighten me on). That was an annoying morning...

yes, you've got it.

woo-hoo. talk about slow on the up take. thanks chaps. :)
