$89.00 | | Purchased At: | JensonUSA | | Strengths: | Wish I knew! | | Weaknesses: | Poor compatability | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Ellsworth Moment /w Fox DHX Air
RS Pike 454 Air
Mavic Crossmax XL
SRAM X.O
Juicy 7
RF Atlas | | Bottom Line: | MRP website shows the LRP to be compatible with the Moment and it's 73mm BB. Perhaps they didn't take into account the external type BB when making this claim. Because the LRP guide arm replaces the single 1mm BB spacer used during installation, the bolts for the small chainring rub. The addition of a second spacer ring to provide clearance binds the external BB bearings when trying to fully seat the drive side crank arm onto the spindle. LBS has looked at the problem and suggests milling a groove in the guide arm. More $'s into an already overpriced product. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$70.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson USA | | Strengths: | Light, durable and very simple! | | Weaknesses: | Obviously the "bash ring" taht comes with the unit is not, in fact a "bash ring", but more of a race for the guide roll on. Wish they had a different color roller, other than just ORANGE! | | Similar Products Used: | None.
| | Bike Setup: | Flat black '04 Yeti ASX, Cane Creek 1.5 XX head set (awesome!!), Hayes Comps, Marzocchi Jr T (very plush!), Intense Mag 30 rims (STRONG!!), WTB Moto Raptors (not sure what all the fuss is about, these have been good to me), WTB Race seat (comfortable), MRP LRP (so far, so good!), Race Face North Shore XS cranks (stiff and fairly light)! | | Bottom Line: | This is a good product if you pair it with the Race Face "Bash Ring". Have not dropped a chain since installing, but have "sucked in the chain" while swithing to my small chain ring. This also happens to my buddies E13, so I guess it's normal for chain guides.
Good Product, light weight and easy to install.
I recommend it! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 16, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Bottom Line: | Simple and effective.. I used to the chain on every ride, most on jumps and drops.
Got tired of it and went to the shop and asked for the cheapsest priced chain guide for a double ring and they told me it was the LRP for $90.Chain has not fallen off since installing this pupster. You don't need the frame mounts to install this. The roller guide arm installs by using the BB driveside to keep it in place. Simple.
The bashring that it comes with is thin and not a really a bash ring. It's more like a retainer plate because it just keeps the chain on the large ring more than protect it from logs and stuff. It's thin and tad thicker than a disc rotor. That's the only complaint really.
The LRP is quiet and has no friction so pedalling is normal and you hardly even know it's there. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$85.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Fairly effective (yet simple) device. Functions fairly well... | | Weaknesses: | Takes a little bit of tinkering to dial, not much.
Guide arrival is also accompanied by endless monkeying with your front derallieur to return it to its previous shifting ability. It is a farce to call that skinny little thing a bashplate. Also it is horrendously expensive...i.e. overpriced. It does do what it says, but... | | Similar Products Used: | Blackspire Dualie.

Then again, maye I am a hamfist who set 'em both up in botched fashion. At any rate, if anyone out there is aspring to sea donkeyhood, they should purchase the Blackspire product.

Shifting is perfect and I haven't hit the roller arm on anything, even without raised chainstays it seems you can tuck it up high enough to avoid contact with logs or rocks. The only drawback is the thin "bashring", it's not really a bashring but rather a chainguide.

I paid my local bike shop $15 to install it and I've had no problems. The only down side is that my shifting got kind of crunchy. I loosened the tension a both ends of the cable and that helped a lot.
Since I've had the LRP I have not dropped my chain once. Before the chain guide I would drop my chain at least 3 or 4 times on my local downhill. I would recommend it to anyone who has trouble with chain suck or chain drop. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$100.00 | | Purchased At: | CycleSport, Chico | | Strengths: | Absolutly no fear of chain droping on to the BB. I can jump my bike now, you can't be dropping chains when your trying to jump... Getting it inspired me to go with a 36 tooth middle ring and 24 tooth granny, which seems to be perfect with an 11-34 cassette. I have an xtr rear derailuer and an xt top pull/swing front, which helps keep things smooth. This setup rides better then any gearing I have ever ridden. I have 9 gears on the middle ring that cover the range of my ridding. 25mph fire road runs are ok on the 36/11 ratio, and 36/34 eats up all but the very steepist of rocky climbs. I seem to ride around the middle 5 cogs on the rear cassette when going through the technical sections. If you try this gear setup with an LRP, you will never go back. I'm so freakin happy... | | Weaknesses: | NONE, I seem to have the new type of roller which has two diferent heights to the guide area, and I can backpedel perfectly. Its probably an easy fix to switch rollers, for those without the improved one.
As to the cost, I guess they are coming down as mine was 100.00 not the 120 or so people have been complaning about. And while I agree that I too wish the price was lower, you have to take into acount that your not paying for a peice of metal and rubber, your paying for people to dedicate there lives to bringing us better performing drivetrains and such.
Research, development, administration, marketing, and overhead (saleries, rent, etc...) all are part of the final equation. And it works better then I imagined! Woot! you could build your own, I'll get my chainguides from people who have the time to dedicate themselves to it. =D
Sorry for ranting but I'm so happy with the damn thing I'm kinda outa control... | | Similar Products Used: | Only single ring guides or 3 ring xtr setups...nothing compares for technical trail rides with uphill sections as well as jumps and drops. | | Bike Setup: | 01 Diamondback XSL race, 4.25 rear travel (I need a better frame, under 600 bucks with 5" of travel and at least sealed cartridge at main pivot, E-mail me if u gots!) with an sid xc (drop....clank, but hey=). 02 Psylo race at 125mm(makes the ride!), Avid mechanical disc brakes (soon to be upgraded), Thompson elite seatpost (just like everyone else it seems), shimano 646 pedels, Koski stem and dh riser bar, and a sweet drive train:
DT/hugi disc hubs
Mavic f519 rims
xt rear cassette
xtr rear D
lx hollowtech cranks
LRP with 24 and 36 rings
xt front D
A little bit at a time, like a moth in its coocon, this bike will transform itself into the sickest Uzzi slx you have ever seen (it might spend a year as a SC bullet if the funds arent there for slx). | | Bottom Line: | A very worthy addition to my dream bike in the making. Anything that sets your bike more to your liking is a plus!
My first upgrade that exceeded my expectations!
Another company is making these as well. Evil Bikes, who I hear make excalent frames, have 2 ring chainguides now.

Dont forget to consider the new 3 ring chain guide by HEIM. I've no idea were these guys are from, but i've seen them for sale at http://www.cambriabike.com/chain&guide/chains.htm

Too many people with CNC machines are robbing consumers. There is absolutely no way these things cost over $5 to make. They have hardly anything to them. You can make this yourself if your handy. NOthing groundbreaking or original was used. They use spacers from in-line skates to hold the roller on.

$102.00 | | Purchased At: | Mountainspeed.com | | Strengths: | Chain doesn't fall off in rough conditions. Much more smooth and tight feeling drivetrain, especially when hammering out of the saddle on climbs. | | Weaknesses: | Installation issues on the Stinky. Roller arm hangs down a bit, and may not clear obstacles like logs. | | Similar Products Used: | None. | | Bike Setup: | 2001 Kona Stinky, Race Face Prodigy crank, 8-speed drivetrain, 22 x 32 rings or 24 x 34 rings | | Bottom Line: | I apparently have one of the new LRPs. Mine came priced lower, with the thicker bash ring, and a roller that is a bit different from earlier ones I've seen. This supposedly new roller has a smaller diameter "track" on which the chain rides when using the middle ring, and a larger diameter track when using the granny ring. My guess is the smaller diameter track keeps the chain from dropping to the granny ring when back pedaling on the middle ring -- a complaint with earlier models.
The installation problem I had was in alligning the smaller diameter track of the roller with the middle ring. Using the Mountain Speed supplied hardware, the smaller diameter track of the roller alligned more with the granny ring than with the middle ring -- this caused rough drivetrain operation when using the middle ring. I corrected the problem by installing the roller with a slightly longer bolt, and a couple of extra washers. This shifted the position of the smaller diameter track of the roller, alligning it with the middle ring. Drivetrain operation was much smoother. The chain doesn't drop when back pedaling. I reported my setup to tech@mountainspeed.com, and they basically said that if it works well, then don't change it.
And, it does work well, no doubt about it. The drivetrain is much more solid than stock on the Stinky. I'm very satisfied with the LRP - it's fantastic! The lower price is welcome, but, of course, what consumer wouldn't like it lower, still? The perfect chain retention device would allow better obstacle clearance, something the LRP lacks. Even so, the LRP is a huge improvement to my Stinky. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

If it falls apart I will be disgusted just like with anything we all spend money on. I bought the new roller MRP has so it no longer jumps down from the middle ring to the small ring when back peddling. This really helps when cleaning the chain with the park chain cleaner(still jumps around on the cogset though). As you can see I am not using that thin chain guard that came with it. The BlackSpire Ring God works just fine with this system. MRP needs to knock off 50 bucks(I paid 100$) and this thing would be right sized for consumers. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$132.00 | | Purchased At: | trailhead | | Strengths: | easy to install.. instructions suck though. | | Weaknesses: | Not very strong. poor design. | | Bike Setup: | rm6 (not currently using LRP because it SUCKS)
Blackspire ChainGod!! (now there is strength)
No Chain tensioning device at the moment and not having any problems with chain falling off.
| | Bottom Line: | This is my second post after riding this thing for about 6 months. Initially - (first day after install) I was very happy with it, but stay tuned to hear the problems.
After some use you can immediately tell that this thing is designed poorly. First problem is backpedalling while in your middle ring ALWAYS forces the chain to drop into the bottom ring (yes I modified my chainline with an E-Type BBracket w/ spacers). You can only imagine the frustration this causes when doing something technical and all the sudden you can't pedal because your chain is jammed. It looks to me that it's caused by the tapered wheel which pulls the chain back in towards the bike.
Second problem is that when you are jumping up on something maybe about 2 feet high - a log or concrete structure - the log will always hit the LRP and shove it up against the chainstay. You guessed it, jamming the chain between the chainstay and the wheel... making it very difficult to pedal while on top of the obstacle you just hopped on. (this also tears up the bottom of the frame when the screws in the LRP slide across)
Third Problem - The pansyguard - bashguard - chainguard - whatever you want to call it is a piece of crap. It might as well be the plastic one that's sold on the $200 bikes at target. Hit it on a log and it will dent all up, bend and everything else.. Go with something like the Blackspire Ring God!! now there is strength.. I have yet to even put a mark in that one.
Overall, these 2 pieces of aluminum and a Poly wheel with skateboard bearings can't cost more than a few bucks to manufacture. I think MRP is taking advantage of the consumer on this one.
As far as chain tensioners go.. I haven't yet found one that allows me to use both the middle and bottom chainrings that is worthy. I've heard about the Kore Chain-Reactor, but don' know if it will fit on an rm6. So far I am happy with nothing. Just get a beefy chainguard and a nice ChainRing and you won't have any problems (I got the A.C. Holeshot DH 38T) Works great and I haven't had the chain fall off since I removed the LRP.
MRP should pay you to use one of these. 1 flaming habanero of death overall. And one for the value because it's way over-priced.
I can't wait to hear what MRP has to say about them when I chat with em at the Sea Otter Classic. Maybe I'll post some more info then... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Does a good job of keeping the chain on while allowing you to run your middle & little ring. | | Weaknesses: | $, a bit spendy, but then what isn't these days? | | Bike Setup: | Cheeta Prowler, Stratos S7, RaceFace NS ISIS, assorted bits & parts. | | Bottom Line: | I needed to run the 128mm DH BB(ISIS) to run 2/3 chainrings up front on the Prowler. The LRP lets me run the middle & small rings up front with the outer guide & roller in place to keep the chain on in the really rough stuff. It does a very good job at this & shifting between the little/middle ring is not impared at all. It's also nice that if I want to run my big ring for the smoother high-speed trails, it's a 5 mnute job to remove the roller & swap the outer guide for the big ring.
The ability to run all 3 rings up front would be nice, but we can't have our cake & eat it too can we?
Overall this is a great idea & a good product that works well. Quite worthy.
