Questions & Answers
Increasing the chaining size reduces the oblique angle between the teeth and the chain guide. Imagine a 1000T ring trying to fit in a chain guide with teeth of that size. This would be in contrary to the chain guide in that it would be "straight." I hope that helps explain the geometry. As far as whether it would work or not, I would guess no, especially if it was going on a mountain bike. There wouldn't be much wiggle room for adjustment.
As a matter of fact, it's not long enough. I have the stem on my mountain bike, and it's pretty much as long as it will As long as the part slides out, you might be able to use the mounting pin and find yet another pin, but it won't work right
So long as it can be mounted on the down tube without causing any obstructions, I see no reason not to.
I would have thought a 30t would be perfect. There are two main things to look at the seat tube it clamps to and how it fits. The Niner frame did not work for me

The program does what it is meant to do, and I like it overall. There is an e-mail address for me A bike with a 42t ring on the front was having a problem with a dropped chain. I knew I needed to take action because dropped chains are not only frustrating, but can be dangerous as well. The Paul chain keeper is a better piece of gear, thanks to its much nicer machining and an alloy that is made entirely of. I had the same problem with a different bike a while ago, so I put a Paul component chain keeper on it. has, however, become much more expensive since I purchased it, and I did not want to part with $45, a lot of money for a tiny bit of metal that will get old and dirty. Having it at a much lower price made the Origin8 an appealing purchase, and I am satisfied with my purchase. Despite the fact that it's easier to mount than the Paul, this one is the easiest to mount out of the bunch. For my 31 it was a bit too big to use an 8 clamp. A couple of wraps of silicone tape over the seat tube solved the issue (I mounted the clamp over it, and that solved the problem). The following is a helpful tip You will need to remove the bottom end bolt that holds the chain guide section together so you can pull the front section In this way, you can see where the chain is in relation to the position of the tractor. Set it up in the position that you want, and then tighten as many bolts as you can on the clamp section before assembling the chain guide section again. I've had this on my bike for two weeks now, and I've had no chain drops since then, so it appears to have solved the issue. As a summary, here is what I think of this. I am Paul, and I am The Origin8 definitely has the advantage in terms of ease of mounting. I think it's fantastic that we can open the chain guide section and see the chain's position in relation to the guide. As Paul is all enclosed, it is frustrating to try and position it by feel alone. There is no easy way to know the precise location of the chain. There is only one bolt with a "swing open" clamp on the Origin8 and this makes tightening things up easier as well. Because of the two bolts that make up the Paul clamp, it pulls the alignment out when tightened, so you'd have to re-align it as you tighten. As you travel, make sure you are always in the right position.
Based on our overall assessment of the quality and feel of workmanship, we would say Let's hand it over to Compared to the Origin8, the Origin8 is plasticky. The reason I give it 4 stars is because of its usefulness. To summarize, if the price of the 2 were the same, I would buy the Paul since it is a lot better. In any case, it is much more challenging to mount the Paul, right? Ultimately, the goal is to keep the chain attached to For that purpose, they are both equally effective, and you will mostly forget that they are there once they are installed. Having said that, if I had to do it again, I would probably opt for the Origin8 since it is easier to mount, holds the chain in place as it should and not only that, it saves me $20. experience any problems with this, I will update the script, but it appears that both chain keepers are doing the job they should.
So, it was not a match. The problem is! However, I drilled a hole in the frame, mounted it above the swingarm, and made it telescopic. The trek fuel ex6(? I knew more or less what it is. owing to the design, could not accommodate this piece of equipment. Nevertheless, as you can see in the picture, we've sealed the hole with a long bolt, and the door is now free! In terms of basic design, the chain keeper portion, the halfmoon plastic, is shaped in such a way that the chain lays back on the cog smoothly. As a result of on trail sections that always dropped my zip chain, I have had zero (0) none, nothing, When I pedal again, the chain is always in the same place, no matter how much I jump, slide, rattle, jar, and shimmy. Thanks a lot!.
There is money in this thing! The State All-Star had been on my gravel bike before I added this one While travelling on Road 4130, I experienced chain issues every time I hit a semi-truck It was a rough descent. Despite what you may think, I have everything adjusted correctly, and my derailleur does not feature a clutch system. Since I've first bought this chain guard, I've put at least 600 miles on it with no issues. My gravel bike has held up under every kind of riding I've placed it through, from roots, rocks, and old roads to drops, logs, and jumps. The look of the app might not be ideal, but its functionality is top-notch. The product is made mainly of plastic, but In terms of materials and simple design, just going by the price, it probably should be about half that. Having a 3D printer makes it look easy for anyone to reproduce something like this. The down tube of my bike had to be modified to fit it. There was a small gap between the clamp and the down tube of the bike frame, so I added a piece of rubber bike tube for better fit. Because it is not a scratch on the paint, and it gives it a little more vibration dampening, it worked just as it should.
have installed this on my gravel / cross bike build which has a 1x10 system and it has worked It has not yet dropped a chain since I installed the guide. It will not work on tubes other than round ones. It wouldn't work on carbon frames, only steel, titanium, or alloy, and I would probably steer clear of them. In today's world, most people likely prefer 1x setups for their simplicity. This gives way to wide ratio rear cassettes, so why not add this!.
Previously, I had installed the Origin8 Torqlite UL Chain Guide, Mini Clamp on my MTB when I decided to upgrade. To use my new SHIMANO FC-V chain guide, I had to get a chain guide A 10 speed crankset for the M640 Zee. Installation was simple, all you had to do was position the chain guide over the chain, and you were done. To position the chain guide, tighten two screws on the chain guide, one on the seat tube for vertical positioning, and the other on the steel guide. This one is horizontal (distance between the frame and the sensor). It's been a good week so far. There have been no chain drops for me. That probably won't change unless there is a crash on the guide. It is an expensive item. I try to view it as money spent for peace of mind. I think you will be happy with it. It was an honor to write my review. Thank you so much. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Adding the chain guide to the seat tube involved shimming up the seat tube, but it I went for a long test ride and it showed that the problem had been The job is done!.
I can easily center it and it won't rub against the chain regardless of the gear I use. The chain guide I bought from another brand wasn't centered so it didn't rub against my chain when running in the highest and lowest gears, so I had to return it. It keeps the chain on and the bike riding smooth even when I am descending on a bumpy surface. I have a 9 speed cassette. Even though I have a clutched derailleur, it's usually a good idea to have something small like this on the chainring to keep chain drops at bay. I haven't had a single chain drop since I installed it.
