    I've been searching for an hour for the adaptor mentioned a while ago that lets you use a 22 tooth
    inner ring on a 130(??) mm BHD crank.

    "Mountain Tamer" is mentioned. Avid is mentioned as "used to make one". I can find no links to
    someone who sells them now..

    I used to have a page bookmarked, but that died with a hard drive failure a while back. But IIRC
    that site wasn't in business anymore.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Uh? I don't think BikePro has been in business since (like the webs site says)"1997" Surprisingly
    the website persists.

    The Mountain Tamer adapter would mount a Suntour freewheel cog on the 74mm bolt pattern. Chainrings
    down to 18 (17?) teeth are possible. Want mine?

    If you want to put a small chainring on a 130mm bolt pattern crank, Harris Cyclery sells TA
    triplizer chainrings: sheldonbrown.comchainrings.html . The smallest
    chainring is 24 teeth, though.

    Tom, If you want to add a 4th ring to three 130mm rings, it's easy to make a simple adaptor from
    1/8" Al plate, to replace the spacers between 1st and 2nd rings. You need a drill press, hacksaw
    and 10mm drill bits (or an "X" which at .3970 is close enough to 10mm). Use old chainrings as a
    drill guide.

    IIRC the Avid adaptor let you run 58mm rings on a 74mm bolt circle.

    Here is the link to the Mountaintamer Quad adaptor

    abundantadventures.comquads.html

    They also make a triple adaptor. I used the triple with a 46,34,21 setup. The triple adaptor
    replaces the inner ring and specers of my 5 bolt XTR crank. You can also use the triple to add a 4th
    ring to a shimano road tripple. I am considering removing the outer ring on an Ultegra triple and
    running a 42, 30, 18 tripple setup on my MTB.

    I used to have an Avid, but sold it many years ago. It only went down to a 20t though. but, it
    was lighter.

    Holy cow, Tom Mayer is still kicking. I wonder if he's got a supply of the Suntour cogs that fit the
    adapters- it's for darn sure they're not being made anymore.
