running 3/32 ring and 1/8 chain and cog?
 
No big deal? does it help with chainline? should I get matching stuff instead?

thanks.

It should work fine

works just fine I've been running this setup for over a year now

I hear it works fine and that it's better than 1/8" chain on a 3/32" cog, because the big round ring does a better job of keeping the chain in line.

totally fine. i've done it before.

Yup, same here.

Had that setup on my last bike (since jacked).

Im riding this set up too, and have been riding it without a problem for sometime. Is it a good idea though to switch my ring to an 1/8? for say.. chain life/chain wear? ring ware.. etc?

i was actually wondering which chain lasts longer 1/8 or 3/32?

just installed this setup last night... its perfectly silent still, good.

I would think the 1/8 would last longer as its beefier. Mine actually got noticably quiter with a little phil wood grease.

ring wears quicker if it is a thin one. less surface area on the teeth for wear. If you run an 1/8 chain with a thin cog, it wears MUCH quicker. My bro destroyed a surly cog in 1000 miles that way. When I say destroyed, it was BAD, teeth profile was totally ruined!
