Or you could use the outboard position for a custom
chainguard...what I like to do and it gives a re-purposed second life to worn-out chainrings. Just get a toothless old ring of a size large enough to cover up the inner one, rough-clip off the teeth with big nippers, then grind smooth and round on a bench grinder...sand and polish as required.
