Dumb dumb question about chainline lies ahead, dont say you have been warned.
so, on my fuel ex i am borrowing my buddies old spare set of slx cranks that he has, they are triples but i have a single e13 ring with a blackspire guide upfront... its okay, has problems getting into the biggest gear; i am assuming cause the guide is pushed too far out, i need to take the 3 little spacers out to try and get it closer to the frame.
so, i am looking at getting a set of my own cranks (finally), and i am seeing killer deals on 2x and 3x x0 cranks. can i buy those and run just a single ring up front with the guide and still be okay? i know nothing about chainlines and what is supposed to be what, i just throw the bike together and if it looks straight i go ride it.
thank you in advance for any help.
