I put a narrow-wide SRAM chainring on my Vision crankset. For the first run, I just left small chainring on. I am doing winter bike maintainence and want to ditch the unused inside ring, but the chainring bolts are too long and don't seat properly. I haven't seen shorter bolts on the SRAM website. Can anyone recommend a good option?

if you are talking about the sync ring, it comes with spacers that take the place of the inner ring so you don't need shorter bolts

When I tried those, the stock bolts hit the rear brake arm. The difference is that the small chain ring has a slight recess around each hole. The clearance.is really tight. No way I could run something like a Jet+ on this thing.

The earlier kit would work... but this kit works too. I just converted my Force 22 to to a 1x over the weekend. I bought my 1x ring unused so it didn't come with the spacers. Anyway this is the kit I used. You might need a different kit since you're not dealing with the hidden bolt.
