  • Maybe someone here can help me. I want to go with a single front chainring on an old MTB.
    I am looking for a cheap (square taper?) chainset that will take one ring, and line up nicely with a 8 speed cassette. If the chainset is a double, I'd like to use the outer position (for aesthetic reasons), but also not have a crappy chainline for the top end of the cassette. I don't really want to use the existing triple chainset. What are my options?

  • Old Shimano 105 double on a 107-110 UN55 is a budget option, proper chain tension and non ramped chainring will usually keep the chain on as well.

  • You could use existing chain set with ring in middle position and bash guard on outer, looks tidy and saves your troousers somewhat.
