As a novice bike mechanic, I'm struggling to identify the right solution.
I recently purchased a Sinister Simon Bar bike. I absolutely love it. The previous owner mentioned that I might have an issue with chain drop using the new front sprocket.

What to do? The chain will drop on average once or twice a ride. I'm guessing I want to switch out for a smaller front sprocket.
My drivetrain is
1x10 speed Shimano XT clutch (cassette)
race Blackspire 36t (front sprocket)
175 mm Shimano Deore cranks.

Well I went about doing that and upon closer inspection, it seems like there isn't enough clearance between the sprocket and the frame. In fact, it looks the chain has eaten away at the frame a little!You might want to fine tune the chain line by removing one of the spacers between the frame and the bottom bracket. That will help if you experience chain drop. Just something I didn't get a chance to dive into once I putt he new front sprocket on.
