I have a Whyte Shoreditch flatbar commuter with 1x10 Shimano Deore setup. When shifting onto the smallest (sometimes even second-smallest) sprocket at the back, it drops the chain at the FRONT, coming off the chainring outwards away from the frame. It did this very occasionally even when new, but is getting more frequent, to the point I now can't use the top gear at all. LBS seems convinced it is a rear mech adjustment issue and keeps fiddling with the screws, but this doesn't make any difference, and I can't see how the rear mech setup could cause dropping at the front.
Does it need a shorter chain? Or a chain-guide at the front? Suggestions welcome!
