Hi

In the process of building my summer bike & with the Sram chainset fitted & the chain on the chain is VERY close to the outer ring in the 9th sprocket (2nd smallest). One of my friends i know of has had a similar problem & i was wondering if this is common & is there anything that can be done to correct it, i thought one way of doing it would be to fit a washer/shim between the R/H crank & the R/H outer BB bearing.

Any thoughts???

    You'll generally find that in that configuration that the chain will always be close to the outer ring, especially with 9/10 sprockets on the rear wheel.
