I noticed that as well. I went down to a 12 tooth front sprocket with the o-ring chain. Apparently the chain stays well centered because I haven't noticed any wear on the case even though it would easily rub the case if it drifted off center. It downright amazes me that it doesn't rub the case with barely enough clearance to slide a piece of paper between the chain and case!!! I'll bet you'll have the same experience. Try running the chain for 20-30 minutes, then check the case for wear. If you don't see any (and I'll bet you don't), ride another hour. Check it again. Ride 5 hours. Check it again. I doubt you'll have any problems.
Anyone else notice this??? CC, are you out there???
