I was experiencing some granny gear chain suck on my new-to-me 82 Stumpjumper after replacing the chain. Turns out the old chain and the granny ring had developed an affinity for each other, one that was not carried into the relationship with the new chain. A trip to RBW and a new Sugino 26t chainring solved the problem.
