   Feb 26, 2011 · 17. The correct length of a chain is irrelevant at purchase since they all come at a set length. (Usually 114 1/2" links, sometimes 120 1/2" links). In special cases, like tandems and recumbents, you may need to join 2 chains to have enough length. Sizing a chain to length for a particular bike is a set process.

   Nominally derailleur chains are called “3/32-inch chain.” However that is not a true measurement, as modern derailleur chains can vary from that sizing. Some nominal widths measured across the rivet between chains are: 12 rear cogs — 5.3 mm; 11 rear cogs — 5.5 mm; 10 rear cogs — 6 mm; 9 rear cogs — 6.5 to 7 mm; 6, 7, and 8 rear cogs ...

   Both works with some pros and cons. Just make sure the chain you choose is compatible. Fortunately, 1/8" chains work on 1/8" and 3/32” drivetrains while 3/32” chains only work on 3/32” drivetrains. Myth: "1/8" chains are stronger or more durable than 3/32" chains because they are bigger." That is not the case.

   How wide is a single speed chain?

   • Both by the outer and the inner roller width: 1/8″ (3.175 mm) wide, compared to 3/32″ (2.38 mm) multi-speed ones. Since single speed chain is by far the cheapest, there is no need to experiment with multi-speed chains. However, 6 to 8-speed chains can fit some single speed bicycles – depending on the chainring width. – T.O.C. – 3.

   Does a front chainring fit a rear cog?

   • In addition to the chain working on the rear cogs and rear derailleur the chain must be compatible with the front chain rings. Front cranksets are also designated for varying “speeds” to give an indication of the right width chain to use. The spacing between front rings for a 8 or 9 speed chainring set will be relatively wide.

   Can a 1/8 chain fit a 3/32 chain?

   • Can fit on 1/8 inch or 3/32 inch chainrings and cassettes. It will have some play when installed with a 3/32 chainring or cassette, but it's usable. So, if you accidentally buy an 1/8 in chain and have smaller chainrings, you can still use the 1/8 inch wide chain. Used for single speed or derailleur bikes.

   Does a 7-speed chain work on an 8-speed system?

   • That is why the reverse is not the case and a 7-speed chain and especially a 6-speed one will not work very well on an 8-speed system. * Based on my most recent measurements, 8-speed chain widths vary from 7 mm (SRAM PC-830), to 7.3 mm (KMC X-8). Also, some manufacturers (like KMC) make their 6, 7, and 8-speed chains using the same width of 7.3 mm.

   3/32" has a sleeker look while 1/8" has a more robust look. 1/8" may provide more track "cred" but riding fast provides even more cred. :-) Physical differences. 3/32" and 1/8" drivetrains are basically the same design except for the nominal width of the chainring, cogs and inside plates of the chain.
