http://www.widgit.com.au/ might explain things for you a bit dyl. I thought it was pretty obvious what he was talking about, but oh well. Guess not everyone knows what a 'widgit' is hey!

Ironic.
But on a more serious note, it would help if you would enlighten us who have a lesser understanding of this 'widget'. It was fairly obvious you were talking about the chainring, but it still doesn't help us if we didn't know what it was.

They do look good don't they. And close up the finish and quality is just excellent.
Really nicely engineered bit of kit the widget. And Aussie too I think.

Does this "guide really work for you guys?
There's nothing to stop[ the chain jumping over the side plates and staying on if your pedalling or back pedaling.
It's the same as an old MRP guide but without the idlers.
And mounted where the granny goes, so surely it'll foul on a lot of chainstays. and what about chain line in the high gears?
and I'd imagine you can't make a ISCG backing plate to retro fit some top and bottom buides to it.
Good idea for comuters and very tame XC riders bikes.
I can't see it being lighter than a light chain guide though.

Id have to agree with Rod on this..
I cant see this working well for DH.
If you’ve ever seen how much a chain moves on a decent dh run, it jumps up and down considerably. Hence why e13, mrp etc have fully enclosed guides to stop this, and also why a lot of the time we are running a pretty high chain tension.
Ok for tame xc/am but for dh i cant see any benefit over conventional dh guides. I even use a e13 lg1+ on my 4” because similar setups like this wern’t working for me over rough fast stuff.
ps.. Nice frame/forks and wheels. Good to see something a touch different!
