Just wondered if anyone else had done this.... and if so how it was for chainline etc?

I keep juggling prices and gear ratio calcs, its tempting....

Chain will be fine.
As will gear ratio.
Just do it.

Didn't think it wouldn't work. Got it on my 2002 superlight and it's faultless.

Slx full groupset. One of the cheap ones merlin was knocking out a while back. That and a short stem/wide bar combination and it's a brilliant bike once again

I did mine by just adding a 40 tooth expander ring to a 985 cassette and installing an absolute black narrow wide chain ring. 32 11/40 seems best for trails and the 32 ring provides a slightly better chain line as it has a slight standoff.
