Thanks Peterb.

Its been cold by florida standards lately, it was 50x out today ! LOL

here is a close-up of the ring gear.. I had to flip it to get a good chain line, and it cleared the frame pefectly !!!!!!!

check it out:






I'm gonna call the LBS and find out if they have shorter spacers for the ring gear, so I can remove the small gear all together.. I tried to do it myself but I needed some washers to make up for the missing ring gear so I could not get rid of the free play..
