(solved)new chainring, chain not sitting

[Fubar]

I'm still none the wiser what the problem was or how it was fixed, but I'm glad you're happy.

The ring was a wide one to take a 1/8" chain for a single speed/hub gear bike so the 3/32" derailleur type chain wouldn't fit on it properly. He's ground the chainring thinner to suit the chain. I don't know whether that will cause any isses but hopefully it'll do the job until it next wears out and can be replaced with the appropriate one.
