thanks polisher, just changed chain as other one was an ebay purchased racelink chain and appeared to have a tight spot which gave problems getting tension spot on. after changing it to a new rk x ring i seem to have the same problem noticed slight wear on the outside edge of the sprocket teeth [ only done about 500mls] i am sure g/box sprocket is right way round so problem could be rear hub/bearing possibly.

thats what i was unsure of the flat side has the size and renthal sticker on it so assumed it was the outward side and the lip side inner :?: if fitted wrong way would give alignment problems as i noticed slight wear on the outer side of the teeth , going to remove sprocket carrier as i think i may have stupidly fitted thrust washer on the wrong side which may be my problem :oops: i have both washers between hub nut and hub does the thinner one go behind the sprocket carrier :?:
