Do i need a singlespeed specific one or can i use my current deore middle ring and just take the other two off?
If i can just take the other 2 off do i need a chain guide to stop the chain jumping off (don't want to use a front mech to hold it on) ?
Anything else that might be useful to know 😕

You can use the middle ring as a stop-gap but a 'proper' ring will help stop the inevitable chain drop. Might still need the chain guide.
... and you'll need shorter chainring bolts.
If the big ring is dead, just cut it down so you just keep the tabs, so the chainring bolts are still OK.

i am using a standard middle ring, its a ti 32t and i use a mrp 1x chain guide, works fine i use a chain guide cos you can gaurantee the chain will stay on for months until you a doing some big climb and off comes chain and you talk in a high voice for a while
cheers guys
