Depends if you're running a BMX 1/8 sprocket.
This kind of sprocket is thicker, meaning you need a 1/8 chain.
If you're running a deity sprocket, or something similar, it's 3/32 so you'll need a 3/32 chain.
(The measurement is the width of the chain/sprocket.)

Thanks for the post.

We also offer the Termite Sprocket which comes in a 25t and 28t size and is designed around an 1/8" chain.

On Halloween, we will be releasing the new 2009 Alibi Series of Sprockets that are 3/32 and are designed for chainguides (Alibi 4B for a 4B chainguide and the superlight Alibi LT for an LG1 / G2 chainguide).

Thanks,
