• The chain direction didn't change (I didn't remove it from the bike), so I presume it's on the right way.

    It's almost like the chainline changed, except it hasn't because the ring sits flush on the crank and there's no other way to mount it. It's in the same orientation as the old ring too.

    I may do a last minute change back to the double setup or try a new chain not sure yet.

    Sorry to hear about your Mum. Hope all goes well.
