If you still run a crank with a spider and a 32T or smaller chain ring some of the chain guides will not adjust low enough because they contact the spider flanges the hex's bolt to and leave a gap so the chain can still fall off and will. Unless you modify the guide itself like I did. I simply JB welded a piece of aluminum block inside the guide's "valley" to give it another 1/4" of adjustment. That way it can fully contact the chain inside and keep it on like its supposed to. Do that and then back it up a mm or two so the chain can spin freely but the guide is still close enough to do its job. No matter how hard ya send it. I haven't lost the chain once after doing so all is good. If I can just make the guide invisible now it'al be perfect. I am a minimalist and it looks a bit too busy for my taste.

What kind of chain stay protector is that? Looks like it has nice coverage

@MongoDan 3 ай бұрын

It is the factory Santa Cruz chainstay protector. They work really well but you do still hear the chain hitting it, I wish it was made of a bit softer material.

Do you know how small a chain ring it can accommodate, i.e. 26t?

@MongoDan 2 жыл бұрын

Looks like it can accommodate down to a 26 tooth ring, I would assume only round 26 tooth and a minimum of 28t for oval rings. There is the UK link: uk.oneupcomponents.com/collections/chainguide/products/chain-guide-iscg05-v2

Subtitles in English might help when you’re adjusting the components prior to installation, couldn’t quite catch what you were saying?

I will try to have the mic better positioned next time. Also KZfaq has autogenerated subtitles that you can use

I would clean the bike first.

Given how minimum this install is and how no internal parts or bearing were exposed during installation cleaning was not an issue. But I agree that on any major or deeper install or repair that cleaning is a critical first step.
