Is that chainring in the inner or outer position on the crank and how's the chainline?
Doing some experimenting myself with a 105 FC-5600 road crank (and USE track chainring) but interested because fitting a 39t for HCs.

So I swapped to a road crank and I used a 'Wolf Tooth' chainring. It's offset so as to reduce the chainline. With FC-9000 it gives a chain line of 47.5mm (normally it's ~51mm for the outer ring) which is perfect for me as the WI freewheel is also 47.5mm. If you went down that road I guess 47.5mm would be close enough to work with a standard (~42mm) fixed chain line?

Here's mine in current form. Low (60 inch) gearing as used on hilly fire roads (gravel) and easy single track. Only problem I have with these frames is lower headset bearing gets a lot of water and dirt in it when used off road so go through bearings.
