I bought a 56 tooth sprocket from Dax. I am not a speed demon by any stretch of the imagination so I thought it would be nice to have the low end torque. However the sprocket has the plane of the teeth slightly offset from the plane of the center. With the offset outward the chain rubs the chain stay. With the offset inwards it rubs the tire. I guess I'm going back to my 44 tooth. Is there any reason these sprockets are built this way?

I just spread the rear stays and that gave me the clearance ( about 1 1/4 inch ) and put washers on the rear axle to give the proper spacing.

Has Anyone Used A Laser Level To Get The Alignment Perfect?
I've Been Using A #41 Chain I Got From Fleetfarm .its Wider And Allows For Some Wobble. I Have Messed With That Rear Sprocket Forever Just To Get It Straight But It Never Works . I Bought A Clam Adapter And It Helps Alot. It Still Has Movement.
