can I take any crank and only attach one chain ring? Will this work? what is a good size if I will be climbing a bit and will also have a 9spd. cassete.

With most cranks you can. You then should use a chain guide, you can usally run a 34t or 36t chainring, that will climb ok. Got to check chinguide manufactures specs on chainring size though.
Originally posted by muscular_biker ok, the chain guide you are speaking of is the one with the rollers, am I correct, and with the bashgaurd that sanwhiches(sp) the chainring.
this is on a 2001 fsr dh team frame, it has a little peg that sticks out, down towards the bb, is this to attach a plate for the chain guide?
For the summer of 2000, I used XT cranks with a 42 chainring. I worked great actually. I just put the chainring where the middle ring would be and then I had a Black Spire Big Ring protector on the outside. I also used the old school Mr.Dirt chain guide...everything worked flawlessly. You'll have no problems.
