What size rings are you talking about? 36t-26t? I've done it and didn't even replace or move the front derailleur down at all, which gives a gap that does look a little weird. I did cut off the teeth of a 49t larger outer ring to act as a guard, and eventually replaced the 36t with a 39t for a bit more range. I thought the 36t-11t combo a bit limiting.
I have a unused "Silver" 170mm crank w 35t, 24t if you are interested, at slightly less than Riv pricing. I have other chain rings available and we'd have to figure out a solution to the outer ring. -Dave J in VA On Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 10:18:19 AM UTC-4, Johnny Alien wrote: > > So I posted a thread looking for a crankset because I didn't want to spend > a ton and didn't feel like piecing one together.
