As most anybody who frequents in here I just got a new BMX bike. I have some questions though because I know nothing about them.

1. How do I know if my chain is 1/8 or 3/32?
2. How do you replace a chain on a BMX bike?
3. I am missing the barrel adjusters on the brake levers can I buy replacements or do I just get a new lever?
4. Does anybody have a brake lever and chain they would like to donate to this bike. The less amount of money I spend the better.


Thanks

1. your bike is old...my '95 fueler is currently running 1/8" but see #3
2. you use a chaintool and break the chain like you do on a mtn bike
3. i would stop by your local shop and see if they have anything lying in there scrap bin...
4. see #3
