The QUICK question thread.....

If I build a single speed drive with a bmx chain ring up front, do I need to use a half link bmx chain? I already have a few 9 and 10 speed chains in the garage.

Or a spider and go full MTB...

I had a Norco 125 way way way back with bmx BB, crank, chain ring running with a (probably) 8 speed rear end. Pretty sure it was a MTB/road chain.

So I've a wiggle order on route since 23rd March.
Its gone from EMA to LHR to SIN and back to LHR where it's sitting with a status of 'carrier delays'. Likely Covid19 related issues.

I assume EMA is somewhere in Europe?
SIN Singapore and LHR London Heathrow.

Where does Wiggle ship from? I think I had a brain fart and thought my order would be local.

I thought so. As I sat back on the park bench resting from my essential exercise and drinking my essential caramel latte from the essential small business I was awakened to just how moronic such a tattoo was...

Then someone came and ordered a caramel latte. I thought wow people actually like this shitty combination??? Oh no he doesn't...better throw in 3 more sugars! Well he looks like not being in the gym is a new experience so who am I to care?

East Midlands Airport. I believe a lot of freight usually goes around the world on passenger flights. So, no passenger flights means no freight.

Keep in mind half link won't gel with narrow wide rings, is the BMC stuff 1/8 chain or 3/32"..I presume u checked it's 3/32

Does it matter if this would be for a DJ build?
TBH no. If you've got BMX cranks already with a 1/8" sprocket on then just get a 1/8" chain as it's way cheaper than a new sprocket. And yeah, you don't need a half link chain - they're good for street/park where you might be grinding ledges etc, but for cruising DJs you don't need. You can use a single half link as a joiner in an otherwise regular 1/8" chain to get the length right if you don't have horizontal dropouts.

Thanks. This one is a long way down the list of things to do, but I have a hard tail frame that takes bmx cranks. Will see how time + money plays out.
