[Closed] SRAM X1 chain rub on frame

My bike has a SRAM X1 drivetrain, been working perfectly since I got it earlier this year.

Took the chain off earlier today to degrease/clean it all up, put the chain back on after and ran through the gears on the bike hanger. Now when it's in the 10t sprocket the chain is in contact with the frame.

Wasn't like this before (I've had the chain off before didn't muck it up that time) and everything looks as I remember it - anyone got any ideas what I could have done? Looking for ideas in case there's something I've not thought of 🙂

Did you take the cassette off as well?

If so, then the XD driver hub needs the cassette to be fully screwed back on to the freehub body.

If the cassette is not fully home, then the cassette will foul the chain stay.

I didn't take the cassette off - the chain is touching where it goes around the first sprocket on the rear derailleur.

Is the wheel in properly?

Yeah. I might go out and double check though, and that all the bolts are tightened properly. Starting to think I should take photos before I do anything bike related now, handy reference point in case anything doesn't go quite right after 😕
