110BCD/130BCD Crankset for 42t or 44t front chainring...

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but...

Im looking to build a flat bar road bike for commuting, fitness, etc. Im looking at a Planet X London road frameset. I definitely want 1 x 10 gear setup and i would like it to be shimano mtb drivetrain. Looking to build it as cheapish as possible so ideally would all be deore level stuff.

The single ring cranksets I have seen have a 104bcd. To use a Raceface Narrowride Chainring at 42t or 44t its says its 110BCD or 130BCD.

What crankset do I need for these? Is there a shimano mtb single ring setup I can use (not the new M8000 11speed stuff as I want it to be as cheap a build as possible!) or do I need to but a double crankset and butcher it? or will I need a cyclocross/road/single speed/track specific???

Road/CX crankset, simples.

Thanks for the reply.

I assume this would work then...

Just take both rings off and put on my new Raceface ring on (inner or outer ring position?)

ive read about needing shorter chain ring bolts, is this true? if so what type and where from??? Link please

Cheers

Just seen these - They look perfect but would they be compatible with a shimano 10 speed cassette/rear mech/chain or would it have to be sram 11speed?

cheers

These?

Ideally you want a triple and put the single ring in the middle (best chainline) location, if using a double use inner or outer and you can swap a BB Spacer if it uses them to move the chainline slightly if you want.

Yes you need single specific bolts as the double bolts will be too long to do up unless you use a 'bash' or trouser guard' (the Salsa crossing guard works nicely on a commuter, my daughter used one).

Sorry forgot to add the link

These...

will they work with shimano 10 speed cassette?

Also stumbled across this which has a 104bcd so will fit somethings like a raceface single ring specific crankset (which will look nicer i think rather than modifying a double/triple)

Looks like i will be able to use an mtb crankset after all!

Do you think I would need a chainguide on these as they arnt narrow wide style rings? It would be mainly road use but maybe VERY light trails/bridleways, etc.

Still not sure if id need to use a chainguide with them not being narrow wide though...

The Rookie

The Renthal ring will work on an MTB crankset, so if you have one that is great, otherwise a road set will be lighter and better suited....

I don't use a chainguide at all on my MTB, no clutch mech just a narrow wide ring.
