X-Ring Chain rubbing case

<< < (2/2)

maddoggy:
i was just getting ready to order a 13t cs sprocket to lower my gearing a little. will this cause enough rub to cause real damage to the case or is it more superficial? i currently run a 15-50 set up and need to drop the gearing a bit to properly climb hills on the k5. on the gearing chart i saw oem setup 14-47 isn't much different than 15-50.

I currently have a 13 tooth on mine and it is fine, although there is a spot where a chain has rubbed in the past, it is not rubbing now.  My cousin bought an 11 tooth and he filed the flange down smooth to get the chain to clear, his doesn't rub anymore.
