Assuming you have a compatible BB, 170mm LH arm, 110mm chainring and
bolt set already, yes you can cut away the inner ring seats:

We used to do that back in the years when compact doubles were not offered.

However if you don't have the other bits or if you can't trim the crank
casting it's not especially cheap and a complete crank set w/BB may well
be better value.


I think he's asking if there's any reason it won't work on a non-tandem,
not whether or not he can convert it to a single chain-ring crank.


Yes. I mean can I just install the thing on my fuji s12-s, which is already a triple (an oldskool one with a single set of 110bcd chainring bolts and so a 34T low), and be happy. Mine is 170 and all three rings are on 110, so all I would need to get is a granny ring.

So what would be the difference between the front and rear right sides?

Thanks
