The site says 3/32 width works with all chains. I think I just posted prior to reading, but will someone confirm for me that an izumi 3/32 chain be fine?

3/32" is smaller than 1/8" as you probably know, but I thought most chainrings would work with either. I just checked a Takagi with a Izumi 3/32 chain and it seems to fit fine. I wraped it about half way around to just to be sure. Its not quite as good of fit as a Suntour designed for 3/32 chain though. If this for a show bike then you should not have any problems.
