AW sprocket /chain/chain ring compatibility
My 1952 AW hub has a sprocket about 1/8” width, I can get a compatible chain, then I find I want to go with a TA 5-vis chainset. Did TA have 1/8” chainrings for track or fixie applications, for those chainsets?
Who sells them? Been looking, but I guess not in the right places.

Bikes are okay, I guess.

You don't need a 1/8" chain ring; you can run a narrower one for a 3/32" chain and it should work fine, just as the narrow Shimano Nexus 24T cog on my AW works with the stock 1/8" chain and crank.
