1x9 options

I'm definitely going to go 1x9, but what options do I have? The widget looks fantastic, but changing the ring size is costly.

Other options? Please note that I am running M970 XTR cranks. My current middle chainring needs replacing. The only option I can find is the genuine Shimano 32t at around $100.

Maybe some fellow members are keen to sell a 2nd hand 32t widget? Ultimately, I'd love to be able to swap out a 32t for a 28t on rare occasions.

Good source for 36t chainring?

Hi All

Yesterday I fitted a spare 36 tooth Surly chainring on a 1 x 9 for a lap around the dam. The ratios were perfect (11-32 rear) but I was getting shocking chain suck because the chainring is too thick for a 9 speed chain (as I've discovered today thanks to the Surly site)

The question: can anyone recommend a good source for a 36t, 4 x 104mm chainring? I need it for the fling in two weeks so can't wait for a OS internet order so may need to (egads!) pay retail

thanks in advance
danny
