I am doing a re-boot of my bike and am now running a Rohloff hub..the problem is that I was given a new SRAM X1 crankset (4 x 94 bolt pattern) to use and I can't find a non narrow-wide 36t or 38t chainring to run on it. I ordered one from Warhawk Industries a month ago and haven't received a chainring, or response to my emails yet (nor has my card been charged). Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can get a chainring, or should I just forget it and use a different crankset?

Is there a problem using a narrow wide chainring? I was going to put one on my singlespeed.

I run em on my SSP, the down side is a 50% chance of putting it on wrong every time. Long tooth rings are all you really need if gears aren't involved.

What about Surly's stainless chainrings? Pretty sure they make a 94mm x 36 tooth, don't they?

Narrow wide will work, I forgot to mention I was hoping for stainless so it maybe wouldn't wear as fast. All I can find is Aluminum/narrow wide. I guess stainless is more the issue than narrow wide, sorry I was doing a few things at once when I posted... Surly does make a 36t 94bcd, but they are a five bolt.
