Is this a good thing to have? I am in the process of building up first ever fixie, finally got all the drivetrain in place and whilst chainline looks straight, it sounds clunky and doesn't appear to 'flow smoothly' over the cogs but is a bit jumpy. Obviously I don't fancy riding it till this is sorted.
The chain I have is an SRAM 3 speed job, which is comparatively chunky compared to the 9/10 speed ones I am used to. Chainring is a standard one from an old double, and the sprocket is a 3/32nd. To be perfectly honest (and this is the idiot question), I am not even sure what measurement the 3/32nd or 1/8th are supposed to represent.
Do I need to look at a new chain to stop this or just keep tinkering with chainline till it all works? Should I expect any noise at all? Any help for a fixie first timer much appreciated.
