My new XtraCycle

I received my new Free Radical kit and the LBS just finished putting it all together... I rode it most of the day testing it out... Very impressive... I hardly know it's there from the ride.. Seems really sturdy and now I am ready for those Costco runs...
Only one small problem with it ... It has the gearing that came with the bike.. A Giant Sedona ST... Whe I am using the 48 tooth ring on the front and the 34 on the back the top of the top of the chain drags on the bottom of one of the Xtracycle rails... It is the only gear combo that does this... No biggie, just caught me by surpries.. I can get along fine without using the 3/1 gear combo... Anyone else run into this little problem ?.. Only cure I can see is to put a small gear on the back.. Hate to do that though as that 34 tooth is great with heavy loads etc...
