Dan, I'll post you the chainring if you want. Give you some time to play with it. Its a nice ring, but you really want a sprocket pocket on there. The early white one was just cut out of a sheet of plastic, not moulding at all. Maybe you could make one (or a few?). I THINK i might know someone who has one you could copy from.  :angel:

The reason people used a 1pc was because the chainring "bolted" on to the spindle with the bearing race. On a 3pc, the chainring is just held in place with the crank arm (and the bolt to stop it spinning). If you were doing sprocket pocket grinds with a 3pc the whole chainring sometimes folded over, esp if it was a crappy ring. A 1pc holds the ring in place much better and makes it less lightly to fold.

I made one myself but with 4 fixings instead of 5. This was so I could bolt it to a flight ring as that was one of the few chainrings with a 19mm hole in it. The top hat washer made the chainring more lightly to fold over. I used a white plastic chopping board but Im sure you can get a sheet of white plastic that will be better.
I'll lend you an old white Havok sprocket pocket to draw round ... but I want it back!  :knuppel2:

I might as well just set a "help yourself" date and open the door to my shed.
It would save me some time and some postage!
