I hope it helps your problem, but you have to rule out one thing at a time and its a good place to start. I chuckled when you said you did not want to hear"do not cross chain". but if everything else is fine and this is your only complaint, well Ok, I will not say it

Haha. Yeah, I've read enough posts to realize that's a common reply. But yes, it's my only complaint. I'll definitely try to take it into a bike shop to check the hanger.

I was wondering if a misaligned hanger would cause issues for all the gear combinations. For me, I only have issues in small small. The issue isn't automatic I have to spin the crank sometimes and wait for it to jump off. Should it be a problem for all the gears? If it is slight misalignment, does it only affect the extreme cases?

I also found out that my 10 speed shimano mtb cassette doesn't require the 1 mm spacer to fit 9/10 speed hubs. Only road cassettes do. I got excited and removed it thinking it would place my cassette inward helping the chain line angle. It helped reduce the occurrence of the jam but unfortunately not completely.
