Centring Chainring...

... how to do it? Any tips?

MIne's not far off, but there is definitely a tight spot that I want to deal with. Cheers.

Look at chain tension on this page

are you sure its chairing? It could just be a tight spot in the chain.

How would the chain have a tight spot?

Uneven wear on the chain, my chain is almost due for replacement and its got several tight spots in it.

Yep chains can have tight spots. I bought two kmc 1/8 chains from on-one for £10. They were awful and I thought my chain set was oval, when they wore out, I bought a sram chain and no longer had an oval chainring. I put it down to the chains having tight spots too, I had to run the really too tight to ensure they didn't derail.

I buy the cheap ones from the LBS round the corner from where I work and they often have tight spots in them.
