Will it run a 32t chainring in singlespeed guise?
With one fitted it looks like the top of the arms might snag the chain a bit?
Anyone done it?
2x10 one if that makes a difference
Cheers
Tim

It's 104BCD so you could in theory put a 32t ring on. As for chainline and fitting a guide, I suspect it would be sub-optimal at best.

I run M985s with a single (36t) ring and they've been fine, no chain line issues. Would suggest if you're buying cranks then a triple will be more straightforward, but the 785s will work if you already have them.
