Hello everyone, I am currently converting my mtb into a singlespeed. And i'm looking at my chainring and rear cog, and they don't seem to align straight if I were to install a chain on there.

The rear cog is already at the far outer part of the hub, the front chainring is bolted on the outside part of the crankset.

It's a 40T chainring, and I'm not sure if I still have space if I move it towards the inside/remove bb spacers.

If I don't have space pushing it further in, then I might just have to accept the fact that I can't use anything bigger than 40T.

I would really appreciate some input from everyone, thank you! 🙏🏻

  1. More info needed. What are you using to convert into ss? When I ran single speed on my dirt jump bike, the ss kit was made up of spacers of different sizes so chainline was never an issue.

    Also have you actually measured? Maybe your cog and chainring being not in line are not that far off.
