it goes in the hole in the center of the chainring, so it fits nice on the axel without the chainring moves about
I reckon your chainring is buckled and your bearings/race may need replacing in your BB. Buckiling will rectify itself with riding. I have had that problem b4.

I have had that problem b4. Everything is brand new Mr Munners, especially the chainring and the flights. The bearings that came with the flights were still in a sealed bag.I'll take it apart again tomorrow when i'm more awake.cheers anyway mate.

Building is to enjoy not to hate. Always walk away and try again the next day.
When you fitted the back wheel, was there much free play between it and the frame? If so, you want to space that out with washers so its snug as it slides into the dropouts.To fit the wheel i have to actually prize the frame apart, especially now it has some washers on the inside. Since i have put the washers on the inside the chain is no longer rubbing on the frame.As for the chainring wobble, before you start on that, have a look along the length of your chain. It should run perfectly straight between front and rear sprockets. It you can see any deviation in this, it would suggest the two sprockets are offset, not in line. You'll need to sort that out at the same time you can cure the wobble too. It might need a little washer or two between the crank arm and sprocket, I had to do this once. If you're lucky, you'll find the front sprocket is spaced out too far and that is causing the chain to hit the frame. The chain ring wobble is still there, bloody frustrating. I've taken them apart about twenty times now, i have tried different chain rings and it's still the same. I've looked from the back to front and the chain doesn't run straight. The deviation is suggesting that the front sprocket is out too much, there are no spacers on it apart from that black volcano shaped cover that is covering the sealed bearings. If i remove that, it could be straight but what about crap getting in to the bottom bracket.The 'tophat' washer previously mentioned can be fitted either way round, so it can act as a spacer too should you need it. I've only used it the one way so far, i'll try it the other way. cheers for your help.
