Change guide adjusting and a nice upgrade

[jaggysnake]

How the hell do you adjust the chain guide tried everything but it either rubs on top cog or bottom cog. I have 2 washers on the big bolt at the moment any more or less it rubs more. Don't really want to adjust the smaller screw has last time I stripped it that's why I've got a new chain guide. I even took it off for a week and chain never fell off once!!

Current chain guide position

And nice upgrade to 35mm stem and renthal bars went for 760mm has I'm quite small shoulder width wise

Hi jaggysnake

I removed the bolt with the chain guide, do you remember the order of assembly of the two washers? Should they be directed on the hole of the frame and chain guide or between the chain guide and the bolt? or another way?

1x drives with narrow-wide teeth on the ring, were designed to not need a chain guide!

I bought a YT Capra that had an e13 chain guide. What a friggin' nuisance that was! The chain kept jamming in the guide and damaging the frame, so I took it off after two weeks and sold it. I never had a chain drop ever again with that bike.

My Merida eOne Sixty has a Merida chain guide and I have never had a problem with it, other than having to remove it now and again for one reason or another (fiddly).

Thing is, if it doesn't cause any problems, leave it on. Otherwise, its history!

Have Reverse Components chain guides on our Trek Rails. They flip up so can easily remove the chain from the chainring. Sometimes forget to flip them back down again. Never dropped a chain. Shimano 1x 12 speed.
