Thanks everyone for your answers. I thought I thought I would update
the group as to my final choices.
I needed a 41t ring, so that excluded the pure track cranks with
144bcd, where the smallest ring I found was 46t. The suggestions about
double cranks pointed me towards a JIS double, and the Sug
I switched to the TA Pista early on, and believe I installed a 103mm
axel TA bottom bracket at the same time. I run a 17/19 White
Industries freehub on the back and it all works great.

I had similar issues with my QB. The Q-factor was a bit much with the
stock Sugino XD cranks, and I didn't use the small ring. As it
happened, I had a spare set of Shimano Tiagra double cranks, which I
put on the stock QB 110 mm BB (which is a Shimano as well). I put a
Salsa 42T ring on the ins
The ENO crank won't work with the Quickbeam's 42mm chainline. You would need
a 103 mm bb instead of the 113 the ENO typically uses to achieve it. The
spindle of the 103 will be too short and the crank will bottom out. A track
crank such as campy or sugino 75 will be a much better fit.

You're so right, the crank really is a triple, the chainguard
occupying the outer ring position. I had forgotten that. So getting
back to my thought, wouldn't it work to replace the large ring with
another of a different size?

Pardon my density, but if chainline and drivetrain noise are not a
problem with the stock Quickbeam setup, as it comes from Riv, why does
it become a problem if you remove one of the chainrings and only use
the other? You really haven't changed anything but the number of

I like the White Industries ENO crank. Very solid, and IMHO,
attractive. I still use the stock QB crank but I have the White on
several other bikes.

If, for instance, you wanted to use the Sugino RD, the chainline is
42mm with a 103mm BB. The chainline measurement is the distance from
the cog or chainring to the centerline of the bike. 42mm is standard
for track cranks and hubs, I think. I don't know what the chainline
is on the Quickbeam,
You may be able to use just the outer, or for that matter, the middle, ring
on the triple alone, and change the bb spindle as needed.

Chainline and drivetrain noise would be the issue here.
IME, the outer ring on the Quickbeam setup (which is the "middle" ring
on a triple) is slightly outboard and the smaller Q

Because it's still a triple crankset with a high Q factor. My other
bike has a Campy double, and I have had some knee pain on the QB which
might be related to the crank.

Why not just remove the smaller ring and replace the larger one with
the 42T?
