That ring looks swollen. Did you use the Dow Corning grease on it? If so, that is likely why. See my previous post in this thread. Try a new ring with a non-reactive grease such as Krytox. Also check the integrity of the hole on the outer chain cover to make sure it's intact. If the banjo surface is fouled then I would sand it flat again using fine grit wet sand paper and then clean thoroughly after. A separate thread topic might be better to track progress and to keep this one clean. Best of luck.
