Chain line "Pass Quest Aero Chainring + XCadey PM"

[makl]

Hi,

I'm planning to run a 1-by Pass Quest 110 bcd Aero Chainring on the "outer side" of a Xcadey powermeter. This is actually pictured like this on the Aliexpress webpage of the chain ring. However, I'm worried a bit, that the chainline might be too extreme in the lower gears, as the chainring doesn't seem to have any offset...

Does anybody have experience with such a setup?

I don’t have 1X but I have 2X with XCADEY on a Cybrei crank picture and I have order the DFS version of this crank XCADEY power meter and the 2X of these pass quest rings (yes the chainring in the photo is on the wrong side of the power meter DFS sent me photo

I run the exact same setup on my Speeder SC-R55D with a Sram AXS drivetrain. I have no issues with chainline.

I ran the Sram Red Aero chainring PM on my old Giant Propel. Actually I cant feel any difference in either end of the cassette. From my POV there will always be a bit ratling in the lowest gear doing a 1X. I also have that on my gravel equipped with Sram XPLR.

But the Xcadey and Pass Quest combo is as good as the Sram Red aero PM.

Great, thanks! That's good to hear. I'll post back here to report my findings... (trying to run it with 13-speed Ekar 9-42).

I've had similar setup but with Magene P505 on my TT bike. I have to run it on the inner side of the spider as the chainline become extreme on lower gears

Did you then have problems in the high gears, or was this okay?

High gears were fine as the chainline was ok on the smaller size of the cassette. The chain was bent a lot on the lighter gears with quite strong grinding sound which is more profound than usual cog extremes with proper chainline.

It shifted fine upon initial inspection but I did not try to pedal the bike as it was clear the chainline was way too off

my setup of PQ 54T with p505 base.
the ring is on the outer side when i was on 11sp r105 rd + cs11-28, then 12sp rival axs with hg11-36. 
i can use the low gear(biggest cog) without significant ketak ketak ketak sound.

frames are tt912 n ttx38

Thank you all! This forum is great !

Result: Setup with Pass Quest, Flattop Chain and Ekar Cassette works without issues!

Appreciated you figured stuff out. Right now I am building a 1by 12 speed Leese crankset road with 54t chainring and XCadey PM spider. In the rear is a 12speed 10-46… sadly the Chainline issue is really bad in the biggest cog. The chainring still has 4 mm clearance to the frame. So I will try mounting the chainring on the wrong side of the powermeter and try with spacers to get rid of that super wide chainline…  do you have other suggestions? Otherwise I would try to machine the powermeter and Chainring… but that doesn’t seem like a great solution…

I am using PQ chainring with flattop chain, the noise is killing me now, chainline is same as before. Just like frog screaming

For me the best solution for a 1by setup was a 3mm offset wuzei chainring. Works like a charm and is not very noisy. All gears are good on a 10-44 cassette. Of cause the hardest and lightest gear are the ones with more noise.

wuzei means inkfish lol, the feedback in China of their chainring is not as good as PQ and STONE, but if the price is good then its good to try.
