Wanted: 19t sprocket

anyone got a 3/32 19t sprocket

i think i do

just get 1/8 and get a proper chain before it snaps

how much would you want for it?

@eddie can you run a 1/8 chain on a 3/32 chainring?

Yes.

But there's nothing wrong with a 3/32 setup.

nothing wrong with the rings being 3/32 but the thin 3/32 chains snap easily.

but i understand you have a thicker chain anyway. 1/8 will run smoother though

okay thanks for the help :)

What on earth are you driveling about? 3/32 is fine, exceptable, and perfectly safe. You need to keep an eye on chain wear, just like you would for any other chain, but it's daft to consider it unsafe.

32 is a higher number than 8 so must be that many times safer... think about it kids

Little known fact - Erik Zabel was the first (of many) road sprinters to run a custom-made 1/8" rear mech to facilitate the use of a 1/8" chain, after a disastrous series of 3/32" chain-snapping incidents in the mid 90s. All the usual suspects followed suit: Petacchi, Freire, Boonen, Cavendish, etc.

By "rear Mech" you mean fixie cog yeah?

I think they had some kind of multiple fixie cog tape player device, but don't quote me on that one.

just get 1/8 and get a proper chain before it snaps

a fallacy

just get 1/8 and get a proper chain before it snaps

Just get a proper frame before it snaps.

did I upset someone?

You upset the truth.
