[Closed] Chains and rings: 1/8th chain and chainring, 3/32 sprocket
Does anyone have personal experience of this? Is it a goer?
Am "upgrading" to a middleburn uno which is 1/8th pitch chainring, obviously I'll need a new chain to match - will I be ok with a 3/32 sprocket at the back? If not can anyone point me to a source of reasonably priced 1/8 sprockets to fit a shimano freehub, please? Either 19 or 20 tooth.

Works fine here.
use 1/8th chain with 3/32 hardware all the time, no probs (except for sram pc1 obviously)
Pitch is the distance between the roller centres, which on all (modern) bicycle chains is 1/2 inch.
1/8 or 3/32 refers to the width of the chain/sprockets. A 1/8" chain is wider than a 3/32" so will fit over a 3/32" sprocket without any issue.
sorry my bad on pitch vs width. I know a 1/8th chain will fit over a 3.32 sprocket, I'm more concerned that on a singlespeed setup the chain may "wobble" on the sprocket and come off
Mine worked fine when I had that set up
Not if it's tensioned properly. The difference is 1/32nd of an inch. 0.79mm.
**** all.
It will work fine. I run one of these though

No issue when I ran exactly that fixed.
