You need to get to where the pinkbike page ends in .jpg (ie "open image in new page/tab" depending on browser) then use that with you img tags.

Looks good man! One thing, I'd suggest rotating the guide clockwise a bit more to take the bottom roller out of harms way a tad more... I ride an Atomik and I've hit it a few times!

No worries, it's really simple. First off grab a 4mm allan key (from memory, might be 5mm) and you'll see 3 bolts holding the black backplate of the guide to the ISCG tabs, which are welded onto your frame. Loosen the bolts off a bit, rotate the guide clockwise until it is almost (close as) touching the swingarm, and then re-tighten the bolts.

If you need help I could take some pics of me doing it on my bike which is currently in pieces.

It will effect it, it will just mean that the slack side of the chain (underneath) will be held in more securely by the guide, but as it isn't the tight side which you put the pedalling power through, the effect is negligable. It will also mean that the chain shouldn't slap as much on the top runner of the guide, quietening it a bit! I've run the guide for 9 months now, never dropped a chain. Let us know how you go.
