Because you (or someone else) took your chain off your bike and put it back on incorrectly. It goes on the other side of the tab.

Because it is routed on the wrong side. The chain should be on the camera side.

Don’t worry we’ve all done it.

Just take a look at the mounting instructions on maker site and you’ll get why. Anyway it’s not a big issue if you noticed the rubbing after a short while: take the chain off and follow instructions.

Anyone who says they’ve never done this is a flat out liar. It happens op. Just route it correctly next time

I have done this a couple of times on different bikes. I wish there was a trick to easily know which side the chain should be on.

I’ve done it twice. It will be OK. The chain material is much harder than the aluminium tab. The tab does not give strength to the cage. Buy a chain checker and check regularly for wear.
