Running a 1/8 chain on 3/32 sprocket & chainring?

As above, i know this can be done but will it cause any real problems? My reason is that the chainline is going to be slightly out on my new build and was thinking that using a 1/8 chain will give me slightly more play laterally?

I currently run a 1/8 chain on my beater with a 1/8 sprocket and 3/32 chainring with no problems but the chainline is pretty much bang on (shimano freehub with spacer kit).

Cheers.

No problem running a 1/8 chain on a 3/32 sprocket/chainring. I have mainly a 1/8 set-up but my uber small chainring/ huge sprocket combo, I use for fixed mountain climbing is 3/32. The set-up sees some serious torque but has never been a problem.

The real question is why you want to. I can see your thinking about chain line flexibility, but in fact 1/8 chains have considerbly less sideways flex than 3/32 chains. So a 3/32 would be the best bet anyway.

Hope that helps :)
