So I'm riding a unipack at the moment as a stop gap (I know, I know, but I just needed a bike that vaguely works and isn't a few hundred miles away like my new baby). Finding the whole thing quite amusing really, but (surprise surprise) the chain is fecked and needs replacing. Haven't got it to hand, does anyone know if it takes a 1/8"? I'm presuming it does?

If you assume as much and buy a 1/8" chain, it would fit onto 3/32" chainrings and cogs. But not the other way around.

Never knew that. I live and learn. Cheers, 1/8" it is then.

Isn't it quite tricky to tell between 0.094" and 0.125"? I've never tried but they sound quite similar.

Bike is at home, I am at work, so a ruler wouldn't really have helped anyway ;)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
