I hope you guys can help. I am running a single chainring upfront, a 28 tooth Absolute Black. It is used on a hardtail frame. I continue to have chain drop issues, sometimes while shifting in technical sections, sometimes when just bombing down a bony trail. I run a small cage sram derailleur (the model that keeps high chain tension). I think my chain line is decent. Pretty much perfectly straight back when shifted to the middle range of the cogs.
I made a home made chain guide, which does a pretty good job and just attached a small pulley with a zip tie to the chainstay to tension the chain. It will probably work fine but I just feel like should not have to this with this chainring.
ANy thoughts what causes the problem? Is it the size of the ring? Or maybe the teeth just do not hole the chain as well as the claim?
Thanks Pete
