So today i thought i'd fit my Superstar Chainguide...
http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... ws_id=1427
After about 20 mins and having cut my chain and removed my front mech, i worked out pretty much how it's going to fit etc...
However that's where it went all wrong.
I've been running 2x10 with an E-13 bash. But i can't run the bash now as it's too deep so catches the new chainguide. So, i remove the bashring... This is the problem bit. Chainring bolts etc.
If i use the standard chainring bolts (from 3x10) then with the outer ring missing, i can't get it to fit right as the base of the nut is too long and sticks out too far. Meaning i can't tighten the bolts up enough. If i run my ones from my 2x10, that still gives the same issue.
I assume i need smaller chainring cups/backs ?
Lastly, the Deore chainset looks rubbish with the outer removed and nothing else there (the E-13 looks fine) so i may even end up going 1x10 with just the shifter and cabling removed... although there seems to be little point doing that, if i've got to leave the mech on there, i may as well fit a cable and the shifter. (But i don't wanna do this really).
So... what do i do etc guys?

yes you need shorter bolt sts or spacers or a suitable bash/guide ring."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thanks Nick, i dragged out my big load of washers, but they're quite a large diameter so anything you fit looks rubbish.
Hmmmmm.... i'm sensing this isn't going to fly...

there are special washers. about 70p each."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

done this loads of times.
spacers are an option..but buying single ring bolts is a better idea.. E13 do a back in various colours for less than £10! bargain!0 -
Thanks guys,
Ordered these as cheap for seeing if i'm going to stick with the plan. Not convinced that the cranks really suit single ring without Bash.

if you plan on staying in a 1x setup you could just cut them down with a hacksaw. that's what i did.My Nukeproof Mega
