Hi guys, i just built up my Heckler today but when the front gear shifts from middle to small sprocket the chain catches the frame pivot, im running an Slx chainset with Sram chain.
There is only 1 spacer in the drive side bb too.
Cheers:)

Is it a 36t middle ring? Had the same issue (2008). Total design f*ck up if you ask me - if there's one bike that's going to have a double chainset with 36t ring its the heckler. I just used an extra bb spacer to push it out and I haven't died yet. Or you could go down to 34t ring. HTH

Sorry cant do pics at the moment, i put an extra BB spacer in and it seems to have sorted it for now.
Im a little annoyed as i asked the people i got it from about the tight fit and they assured me it would be ok.
Apart from that im very very happy with my new bike.
Thanks for you help guys.
