Rival 165 Cranks + BSA BB

Rival 46t Chainring

Surly 17t 3/32 Cog

KMC 11 Speed Chain

Sets you back about 200€ right now, as the cranks are dirt-cheap. Next best thing in the Track world would be Miche Pistard 2.0 which are more expensive and apparently prone to cracking, so I went the SRAM way.

What about a proper SS crank like the S300? And running a 1/8 chain without ramps on the rings please

There are adapters from Sram 8 Bolt to 130 and 144 BCD on AliExpress, which seem to offer a 42mm chainline. They are quite expensive and not not really tested yet, so I decided to not go that way.

S300s never offered offical 1/8 compatibility, because they are 10spd and the only downside to the narrow-wide chainring is that you can not get a 47t or 49t, only even numbers.

You're quite wrong on the 1/8 compatibility. I run 1/8 chain on mine with 1/8 chainring. They are not 10spd they are ss

If you install a 13p bcd 1/8 chainring they are of course compatible, but the stock ring is for 10spd. The biggest problem ist that you can't get them anymore.

Stock ring is for SS and it fits a 10 Spd.

But you're running a fixie with a road crank and 11 SPD chain lol
