It works fine with the stock 52t chainring and litepro crankset. Hence issue lies with the chainring. Any ideas anyone? Thanks
I don't have 451 wheels, so I can't confirm its usage on the Mv8, but there does not seem to be anything on the bike that would prevent it.
No physical parts that block a larger wheel, V-brakes can be adjusted for the larger diameter..
But perhaps you can try this in a store?
For you chain skip problem, have you adjusted the RD/chain to cater for the additional teeth?
I have 6 bikes that run 1x systems and they don't have a problem once adjusted properly for chain length/Rd
