My guess is that you actually only need a bushing the thickness of the chainring, with an O.D. the same as the crank hole, and an I.D. the size of the crank. It would be sandwiched between the crank arm flange and the crank nut anyways, and the bushing would allow the chainring to spin. I remember seeing that washer out in the shop and not knowing what it went to. I think I might know where it is. I'm going to postpone sale until I have the functionality worked out. Mods can pull the ad if neccessary, or I can delete it, if that works better. I honestly just don't want to sell something that isn't working. Even if this one never gets used, it needs to be able to be.
