depends on the gears you are using, but a 1/2" of chain isnt going to get you too far unless your chainstay is less than 1/4" and you run a 0x0 gearing.....

These are nominal sizes and don't give too much precise bicycle related information.
Nearly all bike chains are 1/2" (pitch) and 3/32" (roller width).
Except 10mm pitch Shimano Dura Ace 10 chains and very, very old 1" pitch "block"chains, all bike chains have 1/2" pitch.Typical single speed chains are 1/8" wide, although many single speed bikes use a 3/32" wide chain (roller width).
Derailleur bikes typically use 3/32" wide chains, but this is a nominal size. This used to be the correct specification for use with 5 and 6 speed freewheels. For derailleur chains, we speak about overall width (pin length) now. Chains have become more narrow when the number of sprockets increased. A bit over 7 mm => 7mm => less than 7 mm => 5.9 mm => ...
It really depends on the brand and number of gears they've designed it for.
So, the the specs of the developers of the gear components and the chains.
hello guys,
do you know for how many speed will work a chain size 1/2" 3/32"????
thanks
