So I have an opportunity to pick up a campy cx11 crankset for a great price off a friend and the alure of my first campy part is hard to pass up. It will be replacing the Rival crankset currently on my commuter so I also figure it's a worthy upgrade. From what info I can find I looks like 4 bolts are standard 110bcd but the 5th bolt behind the arm is 112. If I get a 110bcd ring such as a Raceface or a Blackspire narrow/wide can I just dremel out one hole to accommodate this? Additionally can I use standard single speed chainring bolts on the other 4 holes and just put a spacer to accommodate the extra space on the behind the crank arm bolt? I'll be putting at max a 46 single ring on so I don't see any potential problems with chain interfering with crank arm but those more knowledge please feel free to correct me!

okay so for anyone looking to do the same thing here's what I did in the end.
- campy chainring bolts are some stupid proprietary size so to get around this I just ran stand bolts backwards
- the behind the arm bolt uses the same threading as a a standard male bolt so I just used one and a spacer here
- went with a praxis ring to try something new and I just had to file one mounting hole tab a touch to make it fit
- end result below
