1/8" chain on 3/32" freewheel

Posted on
  • Sorry guys,

    But am too drunk to check on things (tried a haphazard Google search).

    Thinking of selling my fixed-gear IRO to friend who would like an SS. I trust the chainring is 1/8", but most of the freewheels are 3/32". Not sure, but at the moment this feels right.

    How many problems would arise if one would slap a 1/8" inch chain on a 3/32" freewheel? Would one manage even though it might not--and most likely will not--be the optimum choice?

    I think I've checked the scenario, in the past, but the at the moment, I cannot remember.

    Take care all.

  • i ran an 1/8 chain on my ss mtb with 3/32 cogs/rings without problems.
    actually preferred it as it allowed mud to clear from the chain.

  • what he ^ said. it will be fine

  • Thank you, MrSmyth, 31trum.
