  1. [font=Tahoma]I'm under taking a drive train rebuild of my trusty 1996 Giant ATX 880 and turn from a 3 x 8 to a 2 x 9 commuter / road bike.[/font]

    [font=Tahoma]I thought I'd try to put a SRAM Rival compact 34/50t crankset on it but that didn't fit as the chain stays where to wide to fit the narrower crankset on.[/font]

    [font=Tahoma]So my in order to get the double chainring on the front I'm going to have revert to a mountain bike trekking 24/36/48T crankset and remove the granny ring. Seeing as I'm running SRAM I'm looking at Truvativ. The only Truvativ trekking I can find is the Firex 3.3 but I prefer the look of the 2008 Stylo and I'm guessing it is going to be a bit lighter. [/font]

    [font=Tahoma]I was wondering if I could get a Stylo 2.2 24/36 with bashguard - and just replace the bashguard with a Truvativ 48T Trushift Alloy Chain Ring? I thinking that the 48T chainring will have the pins and ramps to match the 36T ring and that the Firex and Stylo look to use the same chainrings anyway.[/font]

    [font=Tahoma]The of the upgrade rest is as follows :[/font]
    [font=Tahoma]SRAM X.0 twist shifters[/font]
    [font=Tahoma]SRAM Force front derailleur with the cable running through a cyclocross pulley to use the top pull derailleur[/font]
    [font=Tahoma]SRAM PC-991 hollowpin chain[/font]
    [font=Tahoma]SRAM X.9 medium cage rear derailleur[/font]
    [font=Tahoma]SRAM PG 970 12-26 cassette[/font]
    [font=Tahoma]Tyres are Conitential Ultra Gator Skins 1'1/8[/font]

    [font=Tahoma]Thanks[/font]
