Hello all, would like to know if it’s possible to convert a Rival AXS D1 crankset which is 2x to use a single 1x oval chainring??

The 2x looks like it uses the 4 bolt spider, I’m unsure if this spider can be removed and then I get a direct mount oval chain ring like this:

https://uniteco.bike/shop/drivetrain/chainrings/sram-gravel-oval-chainring-standard-6mm/?attribute_pa_colour=silver&attribute_pa_size=44t&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACdHwirbILVbK7DtPyHo1ogNLt4rP&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo7ixlu2ohwMVYp1QBh2KZAdSEAQYASABEgJuVfD_BwE

The current 2x crankset has a power meter so want to keep using it rather than replacing outright.

Cheers!

My GRX Rival 1x had a 4 bolt spider that I replaced with a direct mount chainring.

Which doesn't necessarily help you much...

I guess best way to know would be to take the cranks off quickly and look or look in between bb & chainrings and you might just be able to see how it mounts.

The AXS stuff is the newer 8 bolt direct mount isn’t it?
