Anyone had any experience with these:

32t Tooth Hope chainring. As above..
I've got one on my 2011 Trek Remedy, as am running 1x10. But keep dropping the chain, when just pedalling backwards 1/2 crank, or riding in large cog on cassette. Chain has a fair angle on it when in the "climbing rings". Only way to stop the chain dropping was to space the chainring in towards the bike, to straighten the chain run.
Is this normal??
BTW: if I fit the std 33tooth (yes 33Tooth) middle ring from the original triple chainset I do not have the problem.
Don't think it's the chainring problem, I always need a chainguide on any of my 1x setups to keep the chain on.
Are you using a shortcage rear mech?
Chainguide? Which one?
I use a Pauls chainkeeper,
I heard that the superstar ones are good value

Is the chainring in the middle ring position?
What chain device?
x9 rear mech (Long Cage I think).
Yeah middle posn chainring with spacers. Just didnt inspire confidence having to space chainring in.
When I fitted the std chainring, with shifter pins and ramps I didnt have the problem (without spacing the chainring). just running bash, and prototype inner chain guide (upper) if I had bottom guide on the Hope reckon it would be ok.
worn chain workign with chainring it wore on but not new one?
Did you shorten the chain when you went single ring?
The chainring could be different thickness/ offset to your original one, giving a slightly different chainline, so maybe play about with some spacers?
It really upset my setup when e*thirteen changed the thickness of their G Rings...
Yeah, chain is only a couple of rides old, new chainring, and yeah shortened chain by 2 links. Will have a play with spacers to straighten it all out.
You'll need to take more than 2 links out ime
