I recently installed the LEESE crankset on my 2022 Giant Propel with a SRAM Force AXS D-1 group set with a 10-28 sram cassette and added an Xcadey power meter. My only issue is chain line. It seems like the chain is not turning smoothly when I’m in the big chainring (50-34). When I’m in gears 13-19 in the big chainring or in any gear in the small chaining it all turns fine. Otherwise it almost always seems like the plates on the chain are rubbing against the chainring teeth. It’s definitely noisier. But visually it looks like everything is centered. Do I need to install spacers on the spindle or some other adjustment I’m missing? BTW I converted from a 46-33t SRAM Force chainring and I’m running a DUB bottom bracket.

Are the rings flattop chain compatible? Sram axs chains use larger rollers than traditional chains and will not mesh with chainrings that are not designed for them. The documentation on these Chinese cranks is spotty but In my quick research (I think it’s the same crank) they are labeled as “no fit Srann” on the ali express page. I assume this is saying you can’t use sram chains and sram groups with this crank.
