If I get an Race Face Evolve Crank, can I run a 24/36t in the future if it doesn't come with it? Thanks.

Yes. 24 and 36 tooth chainrings are readily available and a 12 tooth jump is a no problem.
From the pictures, I don't see why not. 24, 36, bashring?

Okay thanks.BigStonz said:
Blackspire and Vuelta both make 4/104 36t ramped rings. The Vuelta one didn't last terribly long for me, but shifted great. I've also used an un-ramped 36t Blackspire and it shifted acceptably well. I don't think anybody uses pins except Shimano.DHS said:
What do the above 2 posts mean? Sorry but I don't know a ton about bike part terminology.
sometimes, chainrings have all kinds of grooves and pins in them to help with shifting -- it gives the chain something to grab onto so it can slide more easily from the 22t to the 36t chainring. Those are called "ramps" or "pins" -- pins are just that, pins, and ramps are any of a variety of shapes carved into the back of the chainring to help w/ shifting.
A chainring without any ramps or pins won't shift as quickly or smoothly as one that has them. There aren't too many people making 36t rings in 4-bolt pattern with ramps, but you can find them in a 5-bolt pattern (which is of no use to you) easily, is all DHS was saying.

Okay I think I get it now.
Any links to where I can get a crank like that with two rings and a bash (including a BB). Thanks for your help!
