I'm using an 1/8th" chain on a 1/8th" chainring and a 3/32nd" freewheel. See http://www.peterbrueggeman.com/cr/nulli.htm

Others have reported using 1/8th" chain on 3/32nd" freewheels in past CR discussions (in the CR Archives). It depends on the 1/8th" chain, some are too beefy and laterally stiff to work like a Reynolds Elite chain.
