Spacer now removed from gxp bottom bracket and there seems to be no way to fit the 53t chainring on the inside position of the cranks. Chainring rubs on the chainstay no matter what.
Chainring now fitted to the normal (outside) position and the chainline isn't ideal. As a bit of a bodge I therefore popped the 2.5mm bb spacer behind the fixed sprocket to move it out a bit. Chainline is improved and there is plenty of thread engagement on both sprocket and lockring... Is it going to kill me? chain/sprocket still making a bit of noise, but hopefully OK.
Chain tensioning is also a complete arse since the chaintugs I ordered don't fit.
