Title says it all...aside from an $80 Wolf Tooth, anyone know of a 46t narrow/wide with some inward offset and a 5/110 pattern?

I single-ringed my roadie w an 11-40 out back. Like the setup, but even with a chain guide, it could use some more retention...

Yeah, I was about to grab one of the Deckas/et al rings, but there's no indication (specs or photos) that there's any offset to them...the Wolf Tooth gives it -2mm on the chainline.

Might be worth the shot in the dark...

 

[MikeD]

Actually the pic in the link you showed has the 46t...might have a little bit to it. Screw it, prob be fine in practice even without the offset. Thx.

I figured, since you have a real/not stupid 5 bolt setup, you can just space it in or out using the washers linked above. If it were cinch or another stupid interface, you are locked in.

So you're saying he should add shims?

 

[MikeD]

I need antimatter negative shims...

 

[Sandwich]

Can you mount it on the outside of the arms?

I need antimatter negative shims...

Seems overly complicated when You can get an ACME portable hole

Lighter too

Have a double ring crankarm. Want the single ring chainline to end up somewhere between the inner and outer positions/chainlines.

Shimming either moves it further inboard from the inner position or further outboard from the outer position, opposite where I'd want to push the chainline in both cases.

Hence wanting a ring on the outside crank position with integral offset toward the inside (or vice-versa...)

With the cheapie chainring.

Chainline would be much improved with inward offset ring, but this does work.
