if it's a s/s commuter, you could use a double and run one ring????
also being a 172mm, you be no better off than a 170/175.
a single track type crank of a reasonable quality will cost you lots more.

And... you can take off the smaller ring and buy some new smaller nuts, they only cost a fiver for single chainring bolts and voila! I did this for a wee while when first finding my feet and it worked fine :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
