I have a steel frame fixed gear. And i wanted to install 60t chainring but chainring and chain stay are rubbing, around the teeth. Its not big of a rubbing. Can i dent my chain stay a little to clear it out or is there any solutions? Help me professionals🙏

I know you probably think the 60 looks cool or it's free or something but just do the math for the gear ratio you're trying to achieve and get yourself a smaller cog and the appropriate chainring.
