Just bought some drive train stuff. I've replaced the previous steel middle chainring with a Shimano steel chainring, new chain, new cassette.
The chain seems to be coming in from the lowest gear onto the chainring at more of a jaunty angle than I'm used to.
I have made sure I haven't put it on the wrong way round but it sounds like its grinding on the chainring. Is it a case of letting it wear in as the previous steel chainring had been on for years and I may have forgotten what that one sounded like at first?
Nothing needs to 'wear in'.
Got any pics?

Best pic i can get with the camera. (Please excuse the rather tasteless carpet 😳 )
It is a bit blurred.
It is a middle ring aint it? Not a 40t outer jammed in or something?
cant make much out but chain looks a tad wide?
Does everything line up/work in the big and granny rings?
It is a middle ring.
Is it me or are the rings and derailleur not parallel?
Ok, i've put the original chainring back on and its a hell of a lot better.
Ordered the Right manufacturer, wrong chainring by the looks of it. 😳
Thanks Gents.
