To uns
osition to match the
middle ring? Or would the outer ring be in the way?
If it works, this would be a neat way to try out wide-low gearing for the
price of 1 chain ring. Thoughts?

I assumed I would leave the chain line alone. WIth this setup I would be in
the middle ring most of the time.

I could simplify even more by going 1X9, but I'm not sure what the benefit
would be.

Is it possible to just leave the outer ring off altogether? Maybe using
spacers of some kind?

Unrelated - Commuting time did increase when I fell a few weeks ago and my
saddle angle changed. I decided to keep the raised nose, but wa measurable
slower until I raised the saddle height to compensate. All better now :)

Thank you everyone for all the input. I will definitely pick up a 40 tooth
ring when I am in the US next month. Maybe the bash guard too.

I use v-brakes on my Sam, and was never very happy with the Tektro v-brake
for road bar levers I had been using the Noodles. Albas let me use proper
v-brake levers, $20 Avids in my case, which make a huge difference. Could
be a consideration depending on what brake style you like.
