1/8 chainring compatible with 3/32 cog
Will this possibly work? I'm trying to piece my wife's bike together and have a few parts laying around.

Thanks, I'm running brakes with a freewheel cog right now and will probably go with a 1/8 cog on the fix side when I get around to it.

I'm running a 3/32" cog with 1/8" chainring and chain, and I've got no problems whatsoever.

That's one reason I like to run 1/8" chain -- it works with either 1/8" or 3/32" drive train components, so you can mix and match to your heart's desire.

Didn't know where else to ask this so I apologize for going off topic, but does anyone ride a 48/14 gear setup? I normally ride 48/16, and do ok on hills. I'm planning on doing a short triathlon on my fixed gear and wanted to have a better gear ratio. I'm thinking any decent hill will kill me, but I don't know.
