I'm thinking of mounting without guard, but I will need new bolts and then the chainline will also be off..
Is there some sort of washer width equation for this?
The thickness of outer guard plus washer is 4mm. So theoretically, I could get 4mm washers and just stick then in there, directly between spider arm and ring...? BTW, the thickness of the new ring is also 4mm.
So, to mount w/o ring without guard, do I need to order new chainring bolts for "4mm" thickness chainring?
