IHG/singlespeed chains
Could we change that to IGH/singlespeed chains :)
What is the best chain setup for a hub gear bike? My Alfine bike came with a singlespeed 3/32" chain but the replacements have all been std SRAM 8-speed. Are there any chains that are better or more durable than others. Is there any advantage in going to a 1/8" width. Do you need 1/8" chainrings and sprockets and can you get one for Shimano hubs? Has anyone used a chain with bushings? Do these have improved life? I sometimes need a half-link to adjust the chain length and these are much easier to find in 1/8" than 3/32. The aim is to make everything on the bike last longer. I cant switch to a Gates belt drive so i dont want this thread to turn into chain vs belt. |
