A bike I am taking back from a single speed (SS) to multi speed
(like ss - bought another ss)
Used 9 speed SRAM 7 that I got cheap
I am just going to stay single in the front
That is a Race Face 34 (ss designed ring)
My problem is chain line
In first it will jump off the front chain ring to the inside
It does fine in second gear
As you can see there is one spacer on font crank right
There are two on the left
It was two on the right and I flopped that - got me 2nd gear
All three on the left did not seem like a good ideal - left would barely get some threads
Tried putting a spacer on the inside of the cassette but there is absolutely no room
I can barely get the cassette on with no spacer
Short of a chain keeper are there any ideas?
I am not opposed to a chain keeper but I want to also fix the chain line.
Picture does show the problem very well
In 3rd (from smallest) the chain line is straight where on a 9 speed that should be 5th
