Im new to the KMX, but not so much to recumbents. I have had my KMX for
about 5 weeks. Im having issues with the rear derailleur. I noticed
that the bottom chain is running awfully close if not rubbing the rear
tire. Im using the plastic tube to scoot it over a bit, but is that
right? This is making it very hard for the derailleur to work the
higher gears(smaller cogs). Im not sure if this is a construction
problem or something else. I don't think I have ever had this much
trouble setting up shifting like this before. The hanger is strangely
close to horizontal??? Is this normal, or is the chain a bit long?

Thanks in advance for your help.
