Looking for a 1x chainset to replace the 3x I have on my retro 26" beatery thing. Something cheap and cheerful so I can ditch the FD and chainset would be wonderful. Square taper ideal unless it comes with a BB.

PFA and context

In Falkirk so unless you're local which is unlikely, posting required please and thanks!

I have a 1x SR chainset but it came off a road bike so I guess may not be what you're after for your MTB due to the tooth count being high typical of road bikes? But if you don't mind I can send you pics.

Quick and dirty fix would be to remove the outer and inner chainrings and replace the middle with a narrow wide chainring, would likely need single chainring bolts or washers

Any use to you? I’m afraid it wouldn’t come with the chainring, but it would come with the left hand crank! It’s 110bcd so realatively easy to find chainring for. I cut the granny ring bolt posts down so it could sit closer in for a better 1x chainline.

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:

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.
