44T single chain ring - 1/8" as I'm going to run White Industry freewheel.
It's 68 mm BSA shell and I think square taper will give me best option for getting good chainline. Less than £200 for both would be ideal. Any pointers greatly appreciated
no_mates-
WI freewheels run quite wide from the base of the thread, have you measured that chainline?
47.5mm is easy to achieve with MTB chainsets, but 44T is a pretty big ring for SSCX considering most would aim to use no larger than 2:1.
34:18 drops you down to the cheaper WI freewheels and lets you use 4-arm 104mm mtb chainrings. 47.5mm is a normal mtb chainline and Goldtec make 1/8th SS 'rings, £18ish.

WI freewheels are 3/32 btw...
