Tinkering with moving bits from bike to bike, so the SS will shortly have a 10 speed twin ring shimano 105 chainset at the front (until I lose one of the rings...) and the existing 3/32" 16t cog at the back.

So the question is, what width chain will work?
I'd previously run an old 9 speed chain but it'll be too short now...

Dangerboy,

The answer lies in your own question.

You need a 3/32" chain, also known as 7-8 speed.

Anything thinner may not run smoothly on the sprocket.

Your chainring is thinnest component, but will work with any 1/2" pitch cycle chain.
