Default Single chain ring advice

Greetings,

as an old MTB of mine only gets used for commuting these days, I'm looking
at replacing the current triple with a single ring when it's due for
replacement (it should be due in summer). Any advice on a good single ring
chainset (42-48T) and supplier would be appreciated.

T.T.F.N.

You've got one :-)

Just take off the other rings, and there you are. You'll want some new
chainring bolts for the single conversion. Also decide whether you want to
use middle or outer position (chainline). A single speed/bmx style chainring
may be nice too (no shifting ramps).

cheers,
clive
