Hi all. I’m new hear but have found LFGSS invaluable over the years. I’ve been lurking!
I’m on my new project which will be built around a Burls custom frame. It will be singlespeed with (I hope) a custom Phil Works rear hub (still working this out with PW).
I would like to use the white industries crank with external BB. Cos it looks good, innit. WI say I can use a TSR chainring (which is made for 11 or 12 speed) with a 3/32 chain. I’m dubious and wonder if anyone here has any practical experience.
Alternatively, is there another company that makes white industries compatible chainrings? Can’t for the life of me find one. I’m aware of the XX1 adaptor but same issue re 11 / 12 speed.
Thank you
Thanks @Scilly.Suffolk
I appreciate that it can be used in theory. My concern was that there might be more noise from the drivetrain and possibly quicker chain wear due to there being some extra width in the chain (maybe up to 2mm). Hence I was asking for practical experience running a 3/32 (9 speed) chain on a 11/12 speed chainring.
Sorry if that was not clear
