• I presume there's a way I can work out

    Yes, it's called maths. The pitch circle radius of a roller chain sprocket is very close to Pitch×Z/2π, then add 4mm to get the top of the teeth
    (12.7×38/2π) +4=80.8mm, so your stays need to be 2×(chainline-4mm*) apart at a point 81mm from the BB centre

    *half the ring thickness + clearance for flex

  • your stays need to be 2×(chainline-4mm*) apart at a point 81mm from the BB centre

    That would put the chainring miles out from the stays so I've probably done something wrong.

    The pictures in the SRAM frame fit specification PDFs might help with understanding 🙂
