Shimano 1x10 conversion options

I hope I might be able to get some pointer here, sorry if I missed it somewhere or if I'm hijacking this thread, but if I did please point me in the right direction.

 

I need to build up my XTC and I'm contemplating a 1 x 10 but the problem is the following. The bike has the following setup:

 

CRANKSET SRAM S1400, 26/39 120BCD

 

A ... well lets just call it an accident basically bent the larege chainring on the setup so I can't use it as is. The problem is I'm struggling to find something with a 120BCD that runs on a 34 t or in that region. I'm a newbie to this so not really sure of I need to buy a complete new crankset and BB (expensive route) or if there are any other ideas/ hacks I can try.

 

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

It is possible to get an SRAM GXP spider that is 108 BCD. This is what I did with a similar setup to yours. My bike shop sourced it for me. Some of the spider's cannot be removed, mine could.

hijack, anyone wanting a 1x10 set up - Shimano Zee der and shifter, XT chain, SLX cassette (11-36) and Rapide 32t NW chainring?

 

Fitted, tested in the driveway, that's it...

Thanks I'll just make sure, but I think it can be removed.
