Chains and Links

Fixed gear and singlespeed bikes can use either ¹/₈" or ³/₃₂" chain.

This page shows the wider ¹/₈" size. This size is traditionally used on track bikes, one speeds, three speds and other bikes that don't have derailers.

For the narrower ³/₃₂" size, as used on derailer bikes, click here.

Note: The all of the chains on this page will work with either ¹/₈" or ³/₃₂"single-speed sprockets/chainrings.

IZUMI ECO Gold Chain CH006 $21.95

Premium 1/8 chain, gold plated.

IZUMI ESH Pro Track Chain CH007 $56.95

Professional grade 1/8 chain, gold/black.

SRAM/Sachs/Sedis PC-1 Nickel 1/8" Chain CH1017 $13.95

Good quality, reliable chain, nickel plated to resist rust.

Offset Links CH002 $4.95

If you are having trouble fitting the desired gears onto a bike with vertical dropouts, this link will let you add or subtract 1/2 a link (1/2 inch) from your chain, allowing you to move the axle 1/4" forward or backward. Different brands of chain have different diameter rivets; these links do not fit all 1/8" chains, but they do fit the models listed above.
