why would that be? i have no experience with bmx chains, but afaik those are wider and don't fit the regular chain sprockets and this freewheel.
and why don't they need a tensioner?

ah ok. you can learn something new every day. thanksr3volved said:a half link chain can be shortened to fit easier since it's 2 half-link connections to make a normal link, and every link connects to the next, not outer/inner.
I run a 1/2" x 1/8" and it fits all my sprockets and cogs fine.
no. not easily. i would need to remove the lower bearing cup from the fork and add spacers there. therefore i would need a longer steering tube as well. quite complicated and i would change the bike's geometry.madin88 said:is it possible to put some spacers between fork and headset? I think of those washers to vary the height of the steerer on the fork..
thanks for your suggestions. unfortunately i don't understand what you are saying. where are you saying to install the controller? securing it to the next surface? can't follow that.Tench said:It seems to close to allowing the controller to go at the front, surely you can find the little space required from somewhere?
Have you considered letting the controller into the front face and securing it to the next surface, it would still be exposed to air flow and also have protected invisible wiring and would give you the little extra space you need.
Tench said:When you had the forks fully compressed had you removed the springs? if the springs were still in but coil bound would they allow the forks to compress that far, measure the spring wire dia and multiply by the number of coils to find the min compressed length. Or can you add a spacer inside the fork to limit travel, or between the fork crown and lower bearing.

Because you took the springs out of the forks to test travel this allowed much more travel .. so with the springs fitted this will give you at least 6-10cm of less travel, Which I think would have made it fine.
