One popular source for the "buy a guard" option is BBG. They are MUSA and
cheap as heck. https://bbgbashguard.com/shop When they list the "size", it's
the number of teeth that particular guard will cover. For your 1x application,
you may be able to get away with going a little bit bigger. "too big" would be
when the chain rubs the chainguard when you are in the smallest cog in back.
If you want to make a guard from a donor ring, it's common to use a ring that
was 4 or 5 teeth bigger than the ring you'll actually be using. Some people
break the teeth off and file what's left. Some hacksaw the teeth off and file
what's left. Others file from the start.
Good luck with your build

Hi, all:
I'm running XTR M900 triple cranks, 74/110 BCD, and want to do a build
utilizing middle ring only, a 1 x 8.
What's options are out there that would replace large chain wheel with a
toothless/smooth dummy wheel?
Thanks in advance!
Scott
