White industries, widely considered the premier Single speed freewheel manufacturer, builds all their freewheels to accommodate 3/32 inch chains. Standard.

The modern industry standard coaster brake, the Shimano CB-E110 hubs use a cog designed for a 3/32 inch chain. I have a few.

Many Single speed specific cranks are sold with single speed specific chain rings that are designed for 3/32 inch chain. I have a few.

KMC designs and markets a number of 3/32 inch chains as "Single speed/track/fixie/BMX " specific. I use the 7610HX. Great chain BTW.

Thanks for cluing me in! I'm not really up on single speed stuff, I just know the old standards.
