Truvativ Shiftguide Chain Accessories
Product DescriptionSometimes your riding calls for the security of a dedicated single-ring and chain guide on the way down, but you still need the climbing power of a granny to get you back up to the top of the run. If your budget can't handle a HammerSchmidt, a two-ring crankset and a Truvativ ShiftGuide Team might just do the trick.The Truvativ ShiftGuide Team incorporates all of the features of a good single-ring guide: a versatile, lightweight and adjustable chromoly boomerang that easily mounts behind the driveside bottom bracket cup, a micro-adjustable upper composite guide box, and a quiet-running lower roller complete with a sealed cartridge bearing at its center. When mated with a 22/32T or 24/36T two-ring crankset, an outer guard, and a standard triple front derailleur, the combination yields a healthy dose of security and the reassurance of knowing you'll never drop a chain - to either side - ever again. 290g.

from Sparwood, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: March 19, 2008 Strengths: Light, keeps the chain on, no drag, you don't know it's there until you realize that you haven't dropped your chain. Top of back plat has solid block directly after front derailleur cage that keeps the chain on the top of the chain ring. Set and forget, easy to install. Cheap. I honestly can say I don't think I've dropped a chain in 2 seasons.Can run a 36T ring. Weaknesses: Cheap, 1 piece stamped back plate is flimsy. I often find the roller twisted slightly due to the back plate bending right at the roller, doesn't bend enough to be too detrimental to performance and can be straightend easily but it shouldn't bend at all and you shouldn't have to straighten it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Gnomalizer Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: Bike Shop Similar Products Used: I've used both the E13 DRS and the MRP LRP. The back plate hole on the E13 I had didn't fit on my BB shell for some reason, so I took it back. The LRP didn't have an upper guide block after the derailleur and was only good for a 32T ring. Both the MRP and the E13 lacked the upper block to guide the chain onto the chainring after the front derailleur cage which I think is their weakness. I also have an E13 SRS which didn't allow me to pedal up hill. Bike Setup: 2005 VP Free, DHX 5, Fox 40, X9/X7, 2006 Howitzer cranks/bb 36T/26T rings.
