Hello,

Looking for a 30T chainring (yes a small one) for my bosch sx motor.
At the moment I have a "SRAM XX Eagle T-TYPE 1x12 Chainring for Bosch Gen4 | Direct Mount - black / silver 34T" chainring.
But I like something smaller.
I like to climb steep sections, and also sometimes with the engine off (yes, with the engine off :cool:)

As far as I found there is no direct mount 30T option, 32T is the minimum.

But I see that e-thirteen has a "Helix e*spec Bosch Gen4 Direct Mount Adapter, 104 BCD" adapter, that combined with a 30T 104 chainring gives me
30T on my bosch SX.
But at the moment the e-thirteen adapter is sold out everywhere.
Does someone know a different adapter of other solution for me?
I see that aliexpres has some spider adapters for bafang, but not for bosch.

30T chairings have a thicker mounting, placing the chairing inward and changing chainline.

You have Mitch/RF/etc...
Just google for:
"104 adapter bosch cx"

I would definitely not go below 32t, and would use a 51t-10t //50t-11t cassette.

Why not below 32t?
At my 'normal' enduro bike I also have a 30t chainring.

At the ebike I have a 10-52 cassette.

If you are using 104 adapter, all 30t chainrings have a "pad" on the mouting area, placing the chairing inward/moving chainline to the center.
For 30t, better direct mount.

Oke, understand. Thanks for the explanation.
Problem is, I cannot find any 30t direct mount chainring for Bosch gen4.
Do you have any advice on that?
