Chainrings 130bcd for 9 speed 1x9 config

jonnyboy77

I'm in the process of building up my new commuter bike I have encountered a newbie mistake on my part ...

I bought a set of Driveline track cranks with 130 bcd configuration, but the chainring does not seem to like my 9 speed chain ... it fits some of the teeth then the spacing becomes too much and the chain sits on top of the chainring ...



Now I am guessing the chainring is not the right type, but my question really is can I get a 130 bcd chainring that will accept the 9 speed chain and allow me to run 1x9?

Any help appreciated! This is my first ground up build, and was going very well to this point!

Thanks

Jon

I read the Velosolo page a couple of times, and I'm still not sure I understand which chainring I could use.

What I do know ...

I have an SRAM PG950 9sp Cassette and an SRAM PC951 9sp chain. In order to make this work as 1x9 I need to identify a compatible chainring at 130 bcd to suit the cranks and aforementioned components.


EDIT: Looks I may have to rethink my plans ... I could drop to 1x8 with some older components, below is the reply from VS:

Hi Jon,

Thank you for your email and interest in VeloSolo products.

Unfortunately at present we don't stock any 9 speed compatable chainrings.

However, if you have any more questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Happy riding!

How about this one?

Edit: Actually, is that a new chain? It looks like the chain has stretched to me.

Does anyone use the workshop forum any more?

If the mods don't like it, I'm sure they'll move it.

Currently, the best solution I've found is this:

you have a track chainring and and a road chain. if you are using a road sprocket from a cassette and that fits the 9 speed chain you will need to change your track chainring (which will be designed for a 1/8th or 3/32nd chain) for a road one. any 130bcd chainring will fit (ie shimano compatible)

This much I now know. Just trying to find options now. I want something like the Surly chainring, no shift ramps or pins, so I can run 1x9. Not found too many options.

Thanks
