Chain alignment issue on MTB
Hi All
I am after some advice as I am having issues with my newly built hardtail. I have fitted a single narrow/wide chain ring (42T) up front paired with an 11 speed cassette on the rear. Fitted correct 11 speed chain and have a shimano deore xt derailleur.. The crank has all spacers on left hand side to bring chainring as close to frame as possible.
I set up the derailleur as far as end point travel is concerned prior to fitting the chain but now I've fitted chain I am major alignment issues resulting in chain being pulled off. It seems ok in gear 11/10/9 but as soon as it gets to 8th gear the chain is so out of line with the chainring it pulls chain off (chain ring too far out from frame. The obvious solution I guess would be to move crank spacers but they are already all on the left hand side meaning the chainring is already as close to frame as possible.
Now I will say that when fitting cassette I had leave the spacer nearest to the wheel hub out to enable to 11 speed to fit on hub, I guess this is normal...
Any help appreciated
