Shimano SLX with 1x9, 34t chainring. If I want to use it as a double I'll have to find some way of removing the stuck chainring bolt. The newer torx fitting bolts seem to be made of cheese and managed to strip completely so had to hacksaw the head off to remove the granny. Far from ideal.

2 more slx double n bash here, one

Shimano SLX with massively filed down chainring tabs to fit my
shaman racing bash. Judging by the number of saint and slx cranks on pinkbike with filed granny tabs, this would be something to improve on. May be also worth considering what cranks tend to be used by riders who require chain devices.

It is a little repetitive I'll give you that... ๐Ÿ™‚

The results are interesting though. I was mildly surprised by just how much Shimano are dominating the STW crank scene. And also that the split between 1/2/3 chainrings seems to be so even.

Thanks again all.
