I thought the 12s stuff was all for Boost and so too wide?

Also saw Alugear rings but ordered a much cheaper "Deckas Narrow Wide Chainring Round 38t 96bcd Asymmetrical Black" because I wasn't sure what cranks I'd end up with and the point of this was new cranks was supposed to be cheaper than just putting a larger ring on the Middleburns.

Someone posted these in my Wanted thread:

Would they work if I threw on a larger chainring? My brain is melting.

Ok, spec mentions 135mm OLD and 73mm BB so do we have a winner?

too wide?

Isn't that what you want if you want clearance for this large chainring?

Yeah, I guess. I've now ordered the cranks that @coventry_eagle linked (thanks!) but I'll hold off on the Alugear chainring until I know the cranks fit (they have a 10 day processing time and it's basically xmas now so everything is touch and go anyway)

I've also got "DEORE M6000 10 Speed Double Crankset. 36-26t Rings. 170mm Arms." coming from ebay. So I'm hoping with the 20 cranksets I've panic bought now, one combination will work and I'll sell off the rest of the stuff.
