I have a bit of a problem. I can only find 1/32 rear cogs (Surly) that fit a shimano hub body for my dj/urban bike. Any of the stronger ss chains are 1/2x1/8 will these chains work with a 1/2x1/32nd drive train 13t rear surly cog and 28t Profile Imperial chain wheel?

you mean 3/32" chain.

yes, you can run a 1/8" chain on 3/32" cog. I have been doing it for years. No problem at all.

The Surly cogs are very good.
