Heyo!
I've found a shop offering a new-old 2022 NS Bikes "Eccentric Cromo 29" (nsbikes.com/eccentric-cromo,98,pl.html) at a discount and was hoping to fit a Box Three P9 x-wide kit in place of what it comes with and then a BSSHD.
However after searching for dozens of hours at this point I just don't know if the BSSHD itself can fit on many MTB frames including this one without hitting the chainstay, ie. before I even try to put the chainring on!.
This particular bike/frame comes with a 32T chainring and all they mention is `32T recommended`... with no indication as to what is the actual max possible.
Can someone please help me figure out if the BSSHD itself can properly fit on this frame or will the chainstay get in the way of the motor body?
If it does fit, is it at all feasible to try the 42T large offset chainring that is popular out there or is it a waste of time and the amount of spacers necessary to get it to clear the chainstay would result in a bad chainline anyway and should get the non-offset 32T instead?
If I did get the 32T without offset, how many of the largest cogs would I lose in practice to maintain proper chainline?
Are there any similar frames (alltrail/enduro hardtail, ideally chrome-molydnenum steel) or complete bikes to recommend that could fit the BSSHD including that 42T chainring?
I searched a lot but information is often US specific and/or mentions bikes that where picked due to a bargain that can't be replicated here.
I am mostly limited to new bikes or finding a frameset in a shop that I can build on cause slim pickings on our used market for a tall guy.
Only other good offer I found was for an NS Bikes "Snabb 150 plus 2"", but again have no idea if it would be any better re chainring/motor fitment.
Hoping someone with more experience could help me figure out if either of those two bikes/frames would be an acceptable pick!
