Hello, I wonder if one cna mix 1/8 and 3/32..

Trying to get a low polo gear I wanna go bmx chainwheel (1/8), but the sprocket is 3/32. Can one mix them or will I get hit by lightning or something if I try it?

Also would a 1/8 or 3/32 chain be to prefear with?

You can mix 1/8 and 3/32 in the sense of chainring and sprocket, but you must use a 1/8 chain (i.e., you can't put a smaller chain on a bigger tooth).

A 1/8th chain will work with any combination of sprocket/chainring, but a 3/32 chain will not fit over anything you have that is 1/8th.....

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

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