Looking for Single Speed Chains for your fixed gear or internally geared hub bike? We got you covered. We have about a hundred to choose from!

You will likely find yourself needing to replace cheaper quality chains more often. But there are other reasons your bike may be chewing through chains.

And of course a big factor in chain life is maintenance of the pins & rollers. Keeping your chain lubricated & clean is the best way to prolong its life. Putting pressure on a chain that is dry & squeaking is more likely to cause it to break. Like all good mechanical things, your chain benefits from lubrication. Following the golden rule of ‘if you can hear it, lube it’ is a good idea.

When it comes to Single Speed or 1/8″ chains, strength is key. Fitting your fixie with a tough chain that can handle the torque loads is important. And you will find yourself less likely to snap a chain on your ride!

What is the difference between single speed chain types?

The 1/8″ or 3/32″ classification on a single speed chain refer to the width of the chain. There’s also a measurement of pitch which is the measurement between the rollers and this is usually 1/2″.

To make it a bit easier to understand, let’s clarify.

1/8″ chains are used on single speed bikes, and bikes with internally geared hubs.

3/32″ chains are also sometimes used on single speed bikes that are running a 3/32″ cog on the rear (generally bikes that have less than 3 cogs).
