30t NW ring on a XT double crank – doable?

a mate wants (me) to 1×10 his current XT double chainset, with a 30t NW ring.

now I know the double has longer tabs than the triple, and these can snag the chain but has anyone tried spacing the ring inboard to avoid this?

I’ve got all the bits so I can test it tomorrow but I’d be interested to hear if anyone has done it…

Blackspire snaggletooth has a built in spacer so it doesn’t foul.

so does the Race face one.

they work a treat, I have just fitted one. 🙂

As does the works components 30t one on my XT double crank.

(Reckon they almost all do by now)

Superstar one works also.

sure I just whacked a 30t Hope on with no issues

I’ve got a SS 30t so we’ll see if that has enough clearance…

nice one. cheers

yes again, just in case.

Raceface 30T NW on XT double fits perfectly.

Uberbike 30 nw works fine on mine

I can confirm that parkesie is indeed correct, the SS one works a treat, although I moved the BB spacer from the DS to the NDS to get a better chainline (inboard).
