Thanks, I did a similar color combo on my Backroad. The chainline issue has me confounded. On a 1X there will obviously be a greater chain angle than with a 2 or 3X, but I would expect the angle to be the same at both of the extremes. On the 11 cog it's not bad at all. On the 42 it's bad. Let's see if this pic does it justice.

No, I went with one spacer on the drive and none on the non-drive as per the instructions. As it stands, each crank arm has the exact same amount of chainstay clearance. The problem is that I need a ring with a 6mm offset rather than the 3mm offset of the Race Face chainring. The crank, BB and chainring were all for 73mm BB and supposed to work together. Race Face doesn't make a 6mm offset ring. I ordered a Blackspire 6mm offset from Blue Sky. That'll give me the 48.8MM chainline I need vice the 51.8.
