I’m in the process of converting my old Windsor The Hour fixed gear into a fixed belt driven bike. Due to belt system having to have an almost perfect chain line, this is how close I needed to mount the ring to get it to line up. I haven’t looked into any other modifications to push the cog out further, but I will if ya’ll think the ring is too close to the chain stay. Also, if it is, what would my options be? Use a spacer or something on the rear cog? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

If this is truly properly torqued down, I’d personally run this and stop if I see paint rubbed off after some gnarly sprints and skids.
Unrelated to this, or if it’s just a teeny tiny bit still misaligned, you can use a thin washer on the rear cog. They’re the same dimensions as those for hollowtech BB shells (not the plastic ones). Just make sure you catch enough threads with the lockring so you don’t strip your hub.
Run smaller ring, a bit of flex and it will hit it. You got a 50T ring, get a 45, you sadly might need different cranks for that.
– Edit- looks like you can get a 46!
