That's a good point. I'm 99% sure the chainring is 3/32 since the cog is, and the chain is part of the package to fit it. Looks like I'm trying to fix my current chain or buying another 3/32 =D.

Seriously, it takes probably less than 30 seconds to fix, just get a quality chain tool, you can get park tool's CT-5, a great compact model, for 16 bucks, and it's really something you should own anyway.
As for everyone who says you need a power link, or a quick link, or anything like that, how do you think you got fixed gear chains to be the right length before they invented those? I mean, you can't special order a certain number of links, tools exist to fix this for a reason. |
Right, but chains have changed since that time.

Has anyone else noticed that SRAM chains are louder? I'm just wondering if it's something else causing the noise.

"The new cassettes won't fit on that hub - it's got the wrong number of splines" "Jeez! How much for a whole new back wheel then? "Well, the thing is, Shimano only make 8-speed cassettes now, so your derailleur won't work properly" "Are you saying I need a new wheel AND a new derailleur???" "And a new shifter." At that point I declined and converted the bike into a singlespeed. |
