Bought a 104bcd to fit to outer chainring of my double and it keeps jumping off the front, chain is correct length and cant bring the chainline any further in, so do they do a 64 bcd narrow wide i can fit to the inside ring.

    Sounds like you have got something set up wrong. Is your chainring on the inside face of the spider?

    On many MTB's you can't fit a 32 or larger in the inner location anyway as it will foul the chainstay.

    Sounds like something else is not right so I'd suggesting fixing that first!

    have you got a stiff link? did you shorten the chain when you fitted the NW ring?

    Yeah fitted on the inside of the spider, chains corect length. It just seems to ride up about 10mm on top of the chainring which sometimes throws the chain off. Took it out today and it didnt jump off so going to see how it goes, although next time ill be getting a 30t 64bcd as when i was running a double the chainline was always better.

    You might find there's not enough space for a 30t on the granny ring position, it could hit the frame. I wouldn't be able to fit it on my bike.
    The inner ring position should be too far in to get the chain line right if everything is set up right.
