Didn't really look at SRAM - Coz SRAM is shit :) but also I thought they all used funny BBs?

I'd pretty much resigned myself to 170mm anyway but thanks, with these models, maybe I could poke around ebay or somewhere and find one.

This one actually looks half decent too

"Compatible with 135mm, 142mm and Boost rear spacing" how does that work then? They have different spindle lengths? Can I use a normal 11s KMC/Shimano chain with this?

No, they have optionally offset chain rings to give 47.5mm chain line for normal and 51mm for boost.

Right. Well, I've got a couple of Shimano cranks coming from ebay so they're going to get tried first and if I can't make those work I'll look at one of those SRAM options.

Ah shit, I still need a chainring for the Deore XT FC-M8100-1 cranks.
