CdT85 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Hi Guys and Girls, I am currently trying to source a 96BCD Symmetrical Narrow Wide Chainring (or various 30-34T) for my Shimano XT M782 triple crank set to convert it to 1x.All the 96BCD NW chain rings for sale on the local distributor's websites are either 96BCD Asymmetrical (for the new M8000 series) or out of stock for the 94/64BCD Symmetrical hybrids. My XT crank is basically new and I would like to continue using it. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can get the correct NW chain rings (Preferably oval)? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeisLife Posted September 11, 2018 Share Asymmetrical is oval, symmetrical is round in terms of chainrings. https://za.csixx.com/collections/shimano-chainrings/products/tt-chainring-oval-96-bcd?variant=30485375634 Edited September 11, 2018 by Dean9406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeisLife Posted September 11, 2018 Share Thank you, but this is precisely what I do not want. That is the new asymmetrical M8000 bolt pattern. Looking for the symmetrical pattern for the M782The bolt pattern is symmetrical, the shape of the outer ring where the teeth are, is asymmetrical (oval). No brand makes a crank with an asymmetrical bolt pattern. Edit: added in info. Edited September 11, 2018 by Dean9406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeisLife Posted September 11, 2018 Share on the left, the new asymmetrical M8000 bolt pattern, on the right the symmetrical M782 patternsym vs asym.jpgI need to eat my words and apologize! I have now read up properly and see what you are talking about. Call Csixx and see if they can help you out though.

CdT85 Posted September 11, 2018 Share There is clearly a difference between the relative distance between the 4 bolts on the asymmetrical new M8000 design. The new pattern will not fit on my equally spaced symmetrical 96 bcd bolt pattern. Please refer to the previous image. The red lines are spaced closer together than the blue line on the left image. Also, why would wolf tooth make two different 96BCD chain rings if the M782 and M800 uses the same bolt pattern? https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/96-mm-bcd-symmetrical-chainrings-for-shimano-compact-triplehttps://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/96-mm-bcd-chainrings-for-shimano-xt-m8000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good bud. Using the lingo as described on their product descriptions. Up until now asymmetrical and symmetrical for me was round or oval BikeisLife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advanceHi OteroHave the same problem. 96 BCD is like hens teeth, and if you can find it they cost a fortune. Ended up buying a new SLX crank with "standard" and readily available 104 symmetrical BCD.My 96 BCD crank now also collecting dust.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to reuse .y old xt crank. Oneup's 94/96 hybrid isnt too expensive. Its just out of stock at trailtec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted September 11, 2018 Share I believe I might have a brand new Raceface 30t chainring if you’re interested. I also have a 36t (not new though). Edited September 11, 2018 by TomR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdT85 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Thanx Tom, looking for a 34 oval specifically? 34 round if all else fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bollies Posted September 11, 2018 Share Sunrace makes chainrings that fit the 96bcd symmetrical chainrings. It is unfortunately not oval tho. http://www.sunrace.com/en/products/detail/crmx00 CdT85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
