  • hi guys,

    i ordered a 3/32 fixed sprocket but i'm now beginning to wonder if i was sent the wrong item.

    if the sprocket was 1/8 what would happen with the chain?

    at present a few of the links fit around the sprocket then they kind of go out of sync if that makes sense?

    Is this the issue or am i being clueless?

    thanks

  • the chain needs to be at least as wide as the cog. 1/8" chain will work with both 1/8" and 3/32" cog. 3/32" chain will only work with 3/32" cog, not 1/8" cog.

    in what way will a 3/32 chain on 1/8 sprocket 'not work' though?

    will it not fit on to the sprocket at all?

  • Inverse shim on the sprocket?

  • You need....

    no, but will the chain engage a few of the teeth or not at all?

  • no, the 1/8 cog is wider than the 3/32 chain!

    like a labrador humping a jack russell.

  • I quit.

  • Is it the fucking fluoride in the water or what??!?

  • no, the 1/8 cog is wider than the 3/32 chain!

    like a labrador humping a jack russell.

    Isnt it the other way around?

  • me too.

    no Balki, the labrador is penetrating the narrower jack russell, just as the teeth of a 1/8 cog try to penetrate the spaces in the links of the narrower 3/32 chain. you must think more about this.

  • Lol

    Just imagine a circular labrador with 14 - 19 cocks repeatedly penetrating a very long, articulated jack russell with hundreds of anuses.

  • Bad acid...

  • this is getting ridiculous... I did't think Sheldon's death would lead to this situation quite so quickly... especially seeing as how the site is still live.

  • I think balki's question is pefectly valid this analorgy is very confusing

  • Save the world..
