Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Which chain to use with this setup??? :
Rear: Shimano 16 tooth freewheel, BMX style
Front: Truvativ Stylo Singlespeed Crankset, 32 tooth

Weight does not matter, I'd rather have strength.

I'm really liking the SRAM PC-7X. Looks good, strong, pretty quiet, and has the nifty tool free masterlink.

If your rear cog is 1/8" which I'm sure it is since it's a BMX freewheel, you must use 1/8" chains.....not your standard road width 3/32". I use cheap $6 BMX chains on all my fixies.

Actually, 3/32 BMX freewheels are pretty common. Usually the only ones I find. But I concur on the chain - cheap BMX works fine. I use the KMC 410 series on 3 bikes with no problems.
