The chain was definately NOT tight, ask Leon and the spacers were all in there properly. Just a crap sprocket. I usually do everything myself or with the help of someone if it's a bit too much for me, but I was putting on new tires front and rear and don't have a front stand so I just brought it to the place that got the tires for me and had them put the sprocket on at the same time. No need for me to take it back apart when he already had the back tire off
