Miche track crank with a 3/32 chainring?

Hi,

I am currently running a Miche track crank with a stock 1/8 chainring, but I have a 3/32 white industries freewheel at the rear. I was wondering if there are any potential issues/problems (compatibility/chainline etc?) with replacing the 'track' chainring with a narrower (3/32) road ring (Campy?) so I can match the freewheel and run a narrower chain.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Campy makes 144 bcd 3/32 rings?

Of course - they made 144BCD road cranks for a while.

I ran 1/8" chain on fixed cogs and freewheels, no problem.

of course, the poster could be referring to Miche cranks which use a 135 bcd. it's the very recent Miche Advanced cranks that have 144.

Is the availability questionable? I can't seem to find jack**** on google.

Yeah that's right I have an older Primato version w/ 135 BCD. I love that crank, but man it limits your options with the rings and BBs, so it's a bit annoying.

Anyway, thank you for reply/help, I really appreciate it.
