Chains SUCK unless you install a chain guide! OneUp Components V2 chain guide installation. Also, V2 chain guide with bash guard.
A dropped chain on my Trek Fuel EX sucked the chain up into the derailleur, jamming it into my carbon seat stay ($350), trashed the derailleur ($300), twisted the chain ($35), and bent the hanger ($30). If I had either of these on my bike it never would've happened. They're inexpensive and really easy to install. Plus, I think they look pretty badass on the bike!

I was constantly dropping the chain on bumpy terrain after I went from a triple to a single ring and removed the front derailleur . The chain guide I installed is a savior. I haven't dropped the chain since installing it. Brilliant little piece and in black its hardly noticeable.

Nice vid brother. I have been thinking of installing one but on the other hand I’ve never had a chain drop. Not even once. Maybe I’m not riding hard enough I guess lol. But nice tutorial.

Some bikes have the mounting bracket as part of the frame ?? I like this chain guide but wouldn’t be able to install ??

I have a Race Face Cinch on a 2015 LaPierre xR729 (xc, rear suspension, 100mm) with an Osymetric 34t...There seems to be only 2 mounts om the bike frame for a guard/guide. They are con-joined with the rear triangle. Is there a chain guide/bash guard that moumts to this?.... When the chain gets really dry, it starts falling off when I shift to 1st gear. Which guide should I try? The one-up or the absolute black? Will they even work with the osymetric chainring?

Would the 30t bash guard work with a 30t oval chainring? Or would I have to go up to the 34?

My chainring has a guard would this work on my bike?

Mounting bracket... does that exist on many frames?

@mtbboy1993 2 жыл бұрын

tip: you can use the absolute black chainring as a bottle opener., at least 34 and 32T.

You can use pretty much anything as a bottle opener 😂.

@mtbboy1993 Жыл бұрын

@@ZRMTB not on the cider bottles from the local juice and jam factory. But they switched to threaded on caps anyway. Buy i have tried various methods, the twont work only a bottle opener or chainring worked. But hitting bottle while holding it down to aa surface won't work, it might on less secure caps.

Great video! Helped out a bunch. Question did you use a torque wrench or is nice and tight good? Also did you use one washer on the top nut and bolt? I’m like you and have a little over centimeter of clearance. Thanks a lot.

@TrailBreaker 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Buck!. Each bike is different. My Kona had good clearance and needed spacers for the guide. The Trek was REALLY tight. No spacers and I actually had to install a washer behind the bracket on the bottom bolt to bring the guide closer to the seat tube.

After the next time, man, you will install a chain guard for the spokes. It's even cheaper.

Yeah I got a question. What happened to your nail? that looked pretty bad sir.

Yeah, all the nails on my left hand are jacked up from overexposure to solvents when I did construction. Wear those gloves😊

How to save $700 in damage- maybe try taking the rear wheel off before trying to gorilla yank your derailleur through your spokes??

@robbwilliams7885 3 жыл бұрын

Meh. Don't need it. I've been running Shimano XT 12-speed drive train with a RaceFace narrow/wide chain ring for the last 6 months and have yet to drop a chain.

@TrailBreaker 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I never did either...until I did. Did I mention $700 to fix the damage? 😀

@miaclydedelacruz1844 10 күн бұрын

do you mean shimano is better than sram and it will not dropped any chain??? see his components he has a better components than your so called XT and RACEFACE chainring but still suffering from chain dropped.. it is not the brand that counts, it is a preventive measures.

@miaclydedelacruz1844 10 күн бұрын

as a matter fact i don't have any expensive drivetrain on my bike like you do.. eventhough my components is cheaper so i dont have any chain dropped ..so don't tell us you are using XT and RACEFACE .. CHAIN DROPPING makes no exemption whether cheap or high brand parts.. i use chainguard as a prevention.. AROGANT!!
