Conversion Spacer Tabs – 3x to 2x to 1x

Description

Chainring & Crank Conversion:

Introduction of 1X for Mountain, Road and Cyclocross has opened a whole world of drivetrain conversions.  Adding to the mountain bike 3x to 2x conversions, now we have all sorts of 2x to 1x conversions possible.  Using these Conversion Spacer Tabs with the right chainrings and accessories, you can do your own conversion and make it look nice without purchasing a new crank.

Whether you’re changing to a 2x or to a 1x setup — in Road, CX, or MTN — these Conversion Tabs are simply used in place of an outside big ring.  Not only do they finish the look of the crank (so it doesn’t look like something is missing), but they take up the space necessary with standard chainring bolts for proper mounting.

Check out the photos above to see how they are mounted.  The first image shows the tabs.  The other images show how they are mounted.  Note the red arrows.  The spacer tabs simply replace large ring of the set — the 3rd (large) ring of a triple set when converting to 2X, or simply the big ring when converting from a double to 1X.  These conversion spacer tabs are needed:  to take up the space of the ring being replaced, to make the crank look good, and for proper bolt length fit.
