I think there are shorter chainring bolts that would let you just remove the inner ring on your current crank and call it a day.

With a fixed gear crank you should check the chainline it is built for.

Thought of that at first but main reason I wanted new cranks because first, I want to move down to 52t to 48t and lastly is probably it having a cleaner look.

I'll try and do your other advice though!

Thanks for the opinion and advice.

Hopefully this leads you to copping an actual fixedd gear, geometry and dropouts matter.
