    Hello, I have a 63 tooth chainwheel, made by TA, fitted to my Speedsix.
    It has about a 1 mm clearance to the pivot hole nut head.
    There have been a few specials with larger numbers of teeth, but I think the pivot bolt nut heat probably had to be seriously reduced in thickness.

    I’ve run 60 and 65 TA chainrings on my speedsix without problem. You could always run a wider BB axle and space the freewheel to get the chainline spot on, although with a 5 or 6 speed freewheel you can get away with the chainline being out by a few mm.
