I have one of their 44T narrow-wides on my 1x9 commuter in combination with a 12-36 Shimano HG400 and SRAM X7 - works perfectly.

i dont really have any chain dropping issues so i was going to get a cheap one for now .....will any 5 arm 110 bcd chain rig work , i have seen many option on web sites , some for doubles and triples , that bilt into cranks , i was wondering what styles are compatible

Both of us recommended that you purchase one chain ring for ~$20- and use it on your current crankset. That is by FAR the least expensive option.

in 1995, i had a flimsy custom titanium frame made, then set it up with a single chainring american classic crank and 8 speed freewheel out back. the shifter was an old suntour ratcheting friction thumbie. i toured (loaded) for 9 months around the perimieter of the U.S. don't recall ever dropping the chain.

these days i ride single speed, and have dropped the chain twice in about 5 years. both times because i hadn't taken the time to adjust my chain properly.

i buy the cheapest new chainrings i can find. they usually run me about 10-20 dollars on ebay.
