    I am getting a new Mega frame under warranty but its boost. Is their any way I can run my 32 teeth chain ring on a four bolt Raceface crank set. Someone said if I add more spacers to the driveside it will work

    Might work. It will depend on the shape of your chainstay and clearance between that and your 32T ring.

    I had same dilemma the boost frame arrived and the chainring cleared I was well chuffed 🙂 Didn’t last long as on turning the cranks the arms were touching the stays 🙁

    Most are ok though try it and see.

    plus one – that’s odd as boost specifically only changes the position of the chainring. The arms are not a wider specification.

    It’s worth a try. I’m currently running one on a boost frame with no adjustments. No issues with chainline or clearance.

    My slx non boost works fine on my boost frame. I also think that raceface you can buy a different chainring but keep the cranks to swap between boost/non boost?

    My Hightower came with a non-boost chainset from the shop so I’d try it first and see.

    if the ring clears the chainstay, then a non-boost ring/crank gives a slightly better chainline than the boost version (on a boost frame).

    My mega 2018 carbon has non boost slx on with a 34t. Had to cut a tiny bit off the chain stay protector for it to fit, 32t should be fine.
