You can't fit a 3/32" chain on a 1/8" sprocket, the sprocket will be too wide for the chain.Mikka wrote:New sprockets, new chain. One 1/8" sprocket. One 3/32". Chain is 3/32" and won't fit either. Pitch between the teeth seems wrong. I'm doing something dumb, just not sure what.

Yes, some older bikes had 1" pitch, modern stuff is 1/2" pitch.Purt wrote:Don't some older chains and sprockets have a wider spacing as in gap in between teeth on the sprocket?
You won't find a bike shop stocking 1" pitch stuff this side of... I dunno, the 50s or something.
In any event, a 1/2" chain will still run on a 1" pitch sprocket. But that's not the issue for the OP.

What model chain is it? While you're at it, what model sprockets?Mikka wrote:It's not the width, it's the pitch. I was comparing and couldn't understand why the pitch was the same.
