Fixed gear and singlespeed bikes can use either 1/8" or 3/32" chain.Narrow (3/32") Chains
This size is used on bikes with derailers, but is also excellent for fixed-gear bikes. This chain is lighter than the 1/8" size. We recommend this for most road fixed-gear/singlespeed applications.3/32" chains are listed on our Chain Page. We particularly recommend the SRAM PC870.
3/32" Half Links $3.95
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. We never used to be able to get half-links for the narrow chain, this is a new item!Wide (1/8") Chains
This size is traditionally used on track bikes and other bikes that don't have derailers. 1/8" chains are listed on our Wide Chain Page.1/8" Half Links $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 we sell.
