I have sat infront of me a RaceFace EXI crankset with a narrow wide chain ring .... I will be running 1x11, no chain guards, guides or front derailleur. Its a 73mm shell width on an '97 Klein

The instructions bleat on about using different combinations of 2.5mm spacers on the drive and non drive side dependant on all the combinations of clamp on and e-type derailleurs

nothing mentions though what to do in the case of running a single ring .. ie 1x11

So how many spacers should I use, if any ? .... and if its a case of just using enough so the chain is as straight as possible, what do I try and line it up to .. middle of the 11 speed cassette ?

any help at all guys would be appreciated

    Depends on my bike I've just the 1 2.5mm spacer on drive side and non on the non drive side.

    This works for me on 10speed setup.
