Was looking to get a chain tensioner for my iggy. I was think about the E13 LS1 cause it comes with the ISCG adapter plate so it will work on my bike... well at least i hope. I was wondering in anyone knows if this will work on my bike? my iggy has a megaexo BB and the fsa moto crankset (currently only with a middle ring and a bashguard in the place of the largest ring) I contacted E13 to see if it would fit and i got this as a response "As long as you have a 2.5mm BB spacer on the driveside of your crankset/BB assembly (or ISCG tabs) you should be able to fit the guide" not sure if i have this or not.... so i would appreciate any help:thumbsup:

Go with a MRP the install is much smoother and the fit is better. The G2 or System 3 will fit. :thumbsup:

It will fit I believe Poh was using that on his Ignition, be patient with the set-up. :thumbsup:

But if your going to be taking it off for another bike latter the money spent on a MRP is worth it.

linga- i just have a bad feeling my frame is gonna crack again, and now that ibex is gone i will be SOL when it does. So i figured i am just gonna buy a new bike while i do have the money. Cause i know once im in college next year i won't have much spendin cash

good point dog, i may just have to bite the bullet and go with G2

as far as a new bike goes, i was thinking more along the lines of a 09/10 mongoose teocali super, i can get 35% off what they want for it:thumbsup:

Forgot you mentioned that before. The new Mongoose are looking good seems like they are working on a come back like DB has been doing. What about a Pinn'R ??? Slightly shorter WB 7.5" travel, quite the trail shredding weapon.

smart thinking...

but when you get here you'll find that if you want it bad enough certain bikes can be had. seems like ive bought a bike every season in the last 2 years... dont ask about the sacrafices ive made to get those bikes tho.

if you get involved enough with the local scene you'll find very tempting deals pop up everywhere.

dog- i do love that pinn'r

just worried that it might be a bit over kill for the XC racing that i do.... so maybe the kyber would be a happy medium? :thumbsup:

I would check out the teocali. My brother currently rides an 09 and has nothing but good things to say about it. I think there is a lot of potential with their FreeDrive system.

I'm not ditching anything until it's broken! Mine is barely broken in! :thumbsup:

You have the right idea as PATrailz pointed out, for XC stick with the Teocali :rockon:

mini- thanks mini, but i think i need one with a bottom tensioner such as the G2, cause my chain always pops off at the bottom of the ring

Can you post a pick of the chain on the small ring in the rear please??
