I’m looking to convert either a shimano road crank or and fsa omega (120bcd) to a 1x chainset for gravel use

other than 80 quid wolf tooth rings, are there any cheaper options for NW rings that would fit these chainsets?

Thanks

What BCD is the Shimano road crank (110 or 130)?

There are loads of NW rings available for 130. Never heard of 120 BCD so you are not going to get any for that I wouldn't think.

This might be what you need for the FSA?

The shimano is 110 asymmetric bcd. I think superstar use to do them but none in stock.

That eBay link looks like it’ll fit the fsa crank, will put in an order!

I did try to give Neil a nudge about these the other day when he popped up on here.

I emailed superstar last week about the 110 asymmetric rings and they said they are making some in 16 weeks time.

Cheers jonk. I’ll keep an eye out. Too late for my current build, but worth picking one up for future given noone else makes them, which strikes me as odd given tons of folks must want to convert shimano road cranks to 1x surely

Very few brands make Shimano DM rings for MTB either.

I'd buy a CNC machine myself if I had room for it here 😀

I think I have a very lightly used surplus to requirement Absolute Black oval one... can’t remember if it’s 40t or 42t, but DM me if interested
