Hello!
I have a Warden Carbon with a Turbine Cinch crank.
1) I feel like my chainline is wrong because the angle of my chain from the chain ring to the cassette does not look good. Looks like it is wearing out my cassette more than it is suppose to.
2) My MRP chain guide is rubbing (in the inside) a little bit, nothing to be crazy about.

Anyway both problem made me think about that maybe the spindle of my crank might be too long? But the weird thing is if i shortened my splindle the crank will be close to the bike and fix the chain line issue but now their will be more rubbing on my chain guide and will now be an issue ...

Any advise? Help? ...

Thanks

Phil

Warden Carbon uses a 134 (originally spec'd but now RF uses a 136mm) axle. It indicates this on the axle. The crankset then uses their standard chainring. Race Face uses one chainring size for 142 & boost 148 rear ends while Sram uses a 3mm different offset ring. Without you posting which way your chain line is off, we can't tell how it's out.

Chain lines aren't great for 12 or 11 speed systems. There is a greater difference in width between 1st and 12th gear.

2) remove spacers from the MRP guide. Now your guide is more inboard and works better.

Your spindle isn't too long. Are your cranks loose?
