Hi everyone! I'm here, once again, to humbly seek out your advice. I've combed through the (many, many) results here on 1x11 drivetrains and still have two questions. I am using a silver2 shifter. 1. Has anyone been able to get a Shimano Altus/M310 to shift 11 speeds to a rear cog with 42t? I c

This might be a silly question. Is it possible to swap out the crank arms to 165? Every available White Industries triple I can find online is a 175. It's not clear to me whether new White Industries arms in 165 or 170 are available and would work. I know 5 or 10mm seems like nothing. Stephanie
