EDIT......never mind.....you're talking about the spider hitting the chainstay. I don't have that problem, I have a problem with the ends of my track crank arms hitting the chainstays when trying to achieve proper chainline.

That was a known issue with the first generation (brown) Steamrollers. They supposedly fixed it with the gray batch.
