I just installed my SRS and it is really loud. Is that common? I vaguely remember reading that it was quiet. I checked everything and it is put on correct. I have an 8 speed and when it is up on the largest gear in the rear it is really loud! Any suggestions? Thanks.

Does it have the "stealth roller"? If not the other roller is basically hard plastic, same as some of the other parts. It will be loud if it is the hard version. Either way, Jonas from e-13 has a way of popping up in these threads & making life wonderfull again. He has stepped up to the plate repeatedly on mtbr. Be patient, if you wait....he will come....cake96861 said:

ANd its friggin ugly and fragile. (Lets redesign the backplate to be more like E-13 -- DOH still sucks)
Friggin MRP

check the roller itself
If I am reading right it is the bottom roller that is causing the noise...make sure there are no numbs of plastic still attached, these can sometimes hide and cause all sorts of noise. the other thing might be that it is too tight, causing too much friction against the roller, try rotating the back plate about 5-10 degrees counterclockwise this will slacken up the tension. Do this and see if you can find a happy medium between holding the chain and quiet.

you said its loudest when in the largest cog.. my guess is an alignment problem. how is your chain line without the guide? using any washers to space the guide?

If it is only making noise in the largest gear in the back, my guess is that either your chain line is bad, or the backplate is too close to the chainring.cake96861 said:

chain line is the path the chain follows.. usually you would setup the chain line with teh chain in the middle on the front and back gears.. make sure it is straight.cake96861 said:

Ya I have the same Prob. with my top guide. Makes a lot of noise when in top gear. But when DH'ing it's always in bottom gear and the chain is stright and make's no noise. The chain will change angles when shifting. I don't think their is a way to change it, no noise for all gears.
MRP Vs. E-13 = E-13 anyday of the week. MRP Catches and grabs onto rocks, roots and everything else. E-13 slides over everything. (Kinda of like being on ICE)

The steath roller is very soft. When you have the chain on the biggest rear cog, 1st gear, it is putting more tension on the chain = more pressure on the roller. Soft roller = quiet, hard roller = louder clicking on the chain. Might want to re-czech the spacer stack behind the guide plate & your chain line....uuuummmm,hhmmmm.cake96861 said:

I think you are confusing guides...he said he has an SRS, not a DRS. The steath roller would be used on the DRS, and the SRS uses a pulley with teeth.man w/ one hand said:
