Just wondering if anyone with the latest saint cranks has managed to run a 30t chainring? There doesn’t look like there would be clearence, but the raceface ring has off set tabs, so maybe possible?!

The 30t is threaded as opposed to normal chain ring bolts. Going by the picture it looks like a no goer.

*edit, seems the bolts are capped so yes the 30t will work.

Sorry for the ancient bump up, but did this work? Before I make a bad mistake on order new cranks for myself….

Unsure how close the saints are to zee but i run a hope 30t n\w on my zee`s

Same here. Blackspire n/w.

I use a 30t Raceface NW with the older 810 Saint cranks,no probs.
Which may or may not be of help.

Run a Hope 30T with my older SLX’s.

What… br are you running 1 x 10… ha… converted!!

Hi Doug, I never actually tried it in the end, but think it would be fine apart from the nice saint chainring bolts wouldn’t be usable.

I have my saint cranks for sale if interested?! 175mm with 83mm BB.

Mbnut – do I know you? 🙂

Yep, bought a s/h FS on here and it came with 1×10 – but 32T and 11-36 was too much like hard work around here, so put a T-Rex on the back and 30T on the front.

Converted to the idea now, but not sure about the HT as I really need a granny-gear for those long days.

After 170 I’m afraid, but thanks.
How have you (or anyone in fact) found them for general trail riding, when I was searching around last night on the chainring fitting, a couple of reviews suggested the slightly thicker crank arms meant they were not ideal when pedaling.
I can live with the extra weight on the trail bike, but not if they foul the pedal stroke at all.

I can’t say I noticed anything out of the ordinary with them, but I’m probably not that fussy!SLX on my new bike and I can’t say I noticed any difference.
