My goal is to transform my 24spd (3x8) into an 8spd (1x8) + RaceFace Bash Ring..
I bought a BlackSpire Mono Veloce chainring for my single ring. The current crankset that I have is the stock Truvativ X-Forge. Now, my confusion is the lining up of the holes for the ring, bahguard and crankarm. Um, they dont match! The BlackSpire ring and RaceFace bash guard have matching holes but I dont know how they will attach to my current crank arm. I wont be keeping any of my current rings so how is the crank arm going to attach to the new ring and the new bash guard??? :confused: |
Simple answer it won't. The bolt circle holes have to match. What you could do is Dremel the teeth off the big ring into a bash guard as you save for a properly matched crankset

I think I need to get a new BB and crankset if I want this single ring setup to work. Apparantly square-tapered BB's and my style rings are outdated. The two parts that I already have are the BlackSpire Mono Veloce ring and the RaceFace Bash Guard. Before I get a new crankset and BB I want to make sure that all four parts will work together. The crankset is going to be the FSA X-Drive and the BB is gong to be the RaceFace SRX.. Both are ISIS splined which Im assuming is the only thing that I need to match up? |

I believe so.

Last question...does it matter what size ring bolts I get? Since Ill have just the one ring and the bash guard, will 9mm bolts be long enough?
Something like this: http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...ing+Bolts.aspx |
Standard sized bolts should work. Try asking in the mechanics forum, might get more hits.
