Chainring replacement oh no!
Just replaced the cassette and chain on my Specialized Crosstrail Elite Hybrid 2016 and ended up with a set of noisy chain rings under load. Here is the symptom as stated on another thread.

So I went to my local LBS to get a Small 64 BCD 32T chain ring and a Large 104 BCD 44T chain ring. I put them both on and found out that the large chain ring hits the chainstay after tightening down on the bottom bracket taper. The crank is a Samox 2X10 44/32. Here is a link to the large chain ring:

The only response from the LBS is to keep the large chain ring I have and just replace the small one. That does work. But I really would like a new large chain ring. The problem is tied to the original chainring that has a 4 MM offset to the outside while the new large chain ring is flat. Here is a link to a set of pictures with the old large and new small chainring installed, with the new large beside it. As you can see this offset of 4 MM is what I need in a new large chain ring. LBS was really not interested in going any further. I have replaced everything on the drive train except the large chain ring. Any ideas on how to solve this? New crank? Searching on line is quite difficult just by looking at the pictures for chain rings.
