WTB Gravel drivechain bits

I've got a very climby gravel event coming up in May. So, I'm trying to 'gravelify' my cross bike/not die on what's essentially a mountain bike course.

Basically, I need some tyres bigger than 33s and a better range of gears than 42-34. I could go back to 2X but I remember SRAM front mechs jamming up the minute there was a hint of mud.

I'm looking for:

• A 38t or 40t chainring, 5 bolt, compatible with Force 22 cranks (110BCD, I think) – I'd love a SRAM CX1 but they seem to be rare as anything in this size.

• A long cage rear 1x SRAM rear mech for the 11-42 cassette I'm picking up later this week.

• Some mixed use gravel/cross tyes in 35-38, think Terrano mix, Grifo, Gravelking EXT etc.

Has anyone got anything?

Cheers,

I’ve got a brand new, fitted, but never been turned in anger TA Specialites chainring.

40T and 110bcd.

That could be ideal, will drop you a PM.

Got a set of WTB Riddlers that have had less than a dozen outings:

Will also PM you.

While its a lovely looking chainring, don't you want narrow wide if your running 1x?

The SRAM CX1? It is NW, right? Or are you talking about the one posted above?

I've got a 42t Gabaruk NW on there atm and it's fine so chainring is the lowest priority, especially since the cassette will be 11-42. It'd just be nice to be spinnier hahaa.

Was going to say the same earlier. The TA ring looks more for single-speed and isn't NW. Sounds like you're covered on the rings though.

Checked and you are right. Managed to find what I was looking for on Planet X though. Was hoping they'd have derailleurs but, alas, no.

Managed to source everything I needed for this, and once again the forum has come to my rescue. I feel a donation coming on.

Thanks to everyone who sold me bits, you've saved my legs a punishing two days.
