I don't have this problem with my bike. I let the chain tube extend past the
rear brakes and everything's OK.

Hi;
On my Bentech I had a similar problem. I ended up placing the top idler
wheel back farther, right under the seat, so that it holds the chain off the
frame. See the attached photo...
Hope that helps, it solved my problem. The chain is off the frame and it's
much smoother & quieter.

I finished my Bentech last fall, and have really enjoyed it.
However,
there is one thing that really bothers me.

I cannot shift the chain to the smallest ring on the rear. When I do
the chain rubs on the chainstay. I see no way possible to fix this
issue the way the chainstay is designed.

Anyone else have this problem? Have you found a way around it?
