Can you use a 3/32 chain on a regular bmx bike? I accidentally ordered it and I know 3/32 is meant for racing. So would I have problems?

as long as the teeth on your sprocket and driver are 3/32 then you're fine. otherwise you need a new chain

Dang. Its just a stock sprocket and driver so I'm guessing 1/8. But there's absolutely no way of making it work?
You could try to file/grind the teeth on your sprocket driver thinner so they are only 3/32 but thats gonna take a long time and you risk destroying the alignment on them or making them too weak. Just get a new chain

You might be able to send it back?

What type of stock sprocket?

Who did you get it from?
There might be a small shipping charge to send it back, but usually there isn't if it has not been opened or installed.

I got it from ebay for $6 haha. But I decided on giving it to a friend. He could use it. Would you know if the Amber 500 chain is any good? Seems good for the price. Or maybe just a kmc 410.

I ran an Amber 500 chain for a long time! My bro is still using it. But i looked up pics of that sprocket, and it looks like itd work man. Give it a try, might as well! haha You can always go to walmart too! No shame in a walmart chain! Same thing as a KMC honestly. If you want THE BEST chain, either get a KMC Kool chain or KMC Dropbuster. I have run all kinds of chains and the Kool chain is my favorite.
