Which chain ring

Hi there.

As a bit of a simplification I'm looking to convert my front three chain rings to a single chain ring.

I know my bike (hardrock) isn't the best at all, but this bike does what I need it for and after I upgrade next year I want to keep this around for lending to bikeless friends.

I'm just wondering if this Race Face chain ring is compatible with my Crankset (Truvative X-Flow)... If i just get the chain ring and some smaller chain ring bolts should I be good to go?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave

    Pics I can find for the X-flow suggest it has rivetted (not removable) chainrings, so that plan won't work.

    If yours are rivetted, yes.

    I have some spare RPM square taper cranks that are single ring specific (no granny bosses) pm me if you're interested, I have a spare bash as well (no ring).
