Compatibility issues when converting from 32t chainwheel to a 38t
Hey!
Recently upgraded my 3x8 beloved 20 year old aluminium hardtail to a 1x10, and now have a 50 mm chainline, with this setup:
Crank: Shimano Deore FC-M5100-1
Chain: Shimano CN-HG54
Cassette: Shimano Deore CS-M4100 (46)
BB: Shimano SM-BB52
Derailleur:Shimano Deore RD-M5120-SGS
Shifter: Shimano Deore SL-M4100
I miss the power of 3.23 & 3.82 ratio I had on the 3x and thought an upgrade to a 38 t would be great for a 3.45 ratio. (I hardly use the lowest gear anyway)
I'd appreciate a chainwheel recommendation that will fit the chain and crank I have.
Will the old bolts fit? or do I need to replace the as well?
Regards,
Ran
