• I looked and there's not a lot of room to do that. It'd also probably foul chainrings on chainstays (something else I'd not thought about coz modern bikes seem to have worked out the fat tyres thing).

  • To enjoy more silly standards, you could always change your freehub to one that takes a 10t smallest cog

    But really the square taper Spa cranks idea is the best (apart from just paying the money for the middleburn chainring). BB length adjustable to give you whatever chain line/chainstay clearance is the best compromise. I have the Spa cranks on my all road type bike and zero complaints

    I needed 165mm too, and as above, cheap 110bcd narrow wides are easy to find

  • Yeah, I never had issues with square taper cranks. I just thought since the Middleburn rings were so spendy, I'd standardise cranksets so I could pull stuff off one bike and have spare BBs laying around, etc.

  • What (presume NW) chainring are you using on that?
