So, feeling on a roll, I went to stick the new chainring on. This was comparatively smooth but one of the little threaded things which the bolts screw into was rusted. Bit of encouragement from a hammer and all was well. However, my trendy 1x dreams were dealt a blow as the aforementioned lil thready guys are clearly made to accommodate two chainrings rather than the one. This problem seems like it should be quite fixable, but knowing quite how is a bit beyond me atm.
Seemed most prudent to replace the 40t in its original position and add the 53 in as well. However I put the washers in the wrong place, then the right place, then managed to convince myself the right place was wrong so they’re currently in the wrong place, will rectify…
