buying a single ring specific chain ring will help with chain retention however but the cranks and spindle thingies work fine. Might also need smaller chain ring bolts (as in shorter) without the outer on there but maybe not.Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0

You will need new chainring bolts, and either leave the mech on or get something else to stop the chain coming off.
Or stick a bashring on then the bolts should be fine, and it looks gnarlier.I don't do smileys.

With a bash you can probably use the same bolts.I don't do smileys.

You don't need anything except new bolts - just take some rings off and leave the mech on.I don't do smileys.
