My solution was to use spacers/shims to bring the cassette further inboard,
although depending on your frame and chainring size this might not be an
option. In the "correct" chainline (I'm using a double crank, so I started off
with the OneUp spacers), the chain would jump down with just slight
ratcheting. After shimming it takes me backpedaling almost 180° before it
falls down. So far that's not been an issue on the trail because I never
really backpedal more than 1/4 turn. I also am not noticing any ill effects on
the small end of the cassette. We'll see how it holds up in the long run.
