You may need some chainring spacers, to move it away from the crank. This will also give you a better chainline!Just installed the chainring and it looks great.
But, I have a Shimano XT 2x10 crank and was running a SRAM PC1 chain and on the narrow part of the chainring, it's rubbing. I'm figuring I will need a narrower chain, but am not sure which type of chain I can should get 8, 9 or 10 speed.
Anyone else experience this problem and which chain worked best?
Thanks.

I've attached some picsWhere is it rubbing?
But can't beat the price $6.Get a real chain too, no matter what. That's not a good chain.
I'm hoping to avoid the spacers. The chainring already has a built in spacer.You may need some chainring spacers, to move it away from the crank. This will also give you a better chainline!
So its the 32t?I'm hoping to avoid the spacers. The chainring already has a built in spacer.
Yes, 32T. So I should be good with a 9 speed chain. Thanks!So its the 32t?
The PC1 is 1/8" and you'll need a 3/32" or narrower.
I would suggest a decent 8 speed chain from SRAM. They are stronger and cheaper than the 9 speed versions. That's all I run and have had great luck. I tried a PC1 once, never again!Yes, 32T. So I should be good with a 9 speed chain. Thanks!
The 8 speed is too wide for the gap between the ring and crank arm.I would suggest a decent 8 speed chain from SRAM. They are stronger and cheaper than the 9 speed versions. That's all I run and have had great luck. I tried a PC1 once, never again!
I'm not sure how close it is, but the 9 speed will be a little narrower and may give you more clearance.
The 34t front and a 17 rear would have a similar feel.I've got a Kona single speed I would like to put these sprockets on. Right now I'm geared 36-18 and would like to know what the biggest front sprocket is I can buy, then I can figure out what rear wheel sprocket I need. Will the rear sprockets fit my rear wheel? I just got this bike, I've been riding cruisers, not very familiar with this style bike. Thanks for any help, Dave.
