That's looking tight Norman! That guard really sets it off. I did an 11km AM style ride today and kept in my 33t the whole time and use the full range of my 11-36 cassette. Was very manageable even on the steepest climb. Thinking a 1x could be on the cards in the foreseeable future.

Nice, looks clean. Did you get much of a weight saving with the conversion?

thanks mate,
not as much as I had hoped...but it I did save 210grams from ditching the shifter/cable/mech/Big and Granny xtr chainrings ->installing XC guide + blue bolts

now sits at 13.31 kgs....but waiting for a few more goodies to arrive before I give it a final weigh in.

Just my home trail in Berowra, it's a nice mix of single track and Firetrails, it was wet and gritty but still plenty of fun. The humidity was a bit rough though ;)

LOL Nat !
Well I'm not as good a rider as you are...so I have to make up some way or another...... but yehhhh I should've bought a Mach5.7, would've saved me $1k and a few hundred grams :p

Haven't ridden with you in......forever !
I'm very keen to give this a pedal and see if I can drop a chain and how the bike will feel with this new set up!
Will also need you to help me adjust the guide as I cant seem to get rid of the rubbing in the extreme gears (is that normal?)

Yours is a direct mount right? I don't know whether you can get the twisting adjustment with the DM. Mine rubs in 1st and 2nd, but not in the bottom gears. Every Chainguide I've owned has done that though. You can pop a little soft piece of velcro on the inside to quiet it up.

Yehhh high direct mount, no twist adjustment possible, only vertical and a limit degree of rotation about the chainring
mine rubs in 1st and 10th.... Guess its normal to rub then?
Shame theres no room for Velcro as it rubs the guide right at the 12 o clock position of the chainring (not where it leaves the guide)

hard to explain but I'll get you to look at it next time we ride :D

The KMC missing link was an absolute mission to get off! So I went and bought the proper tool for the job
Was also sick of using needle nose pliers to hold chainring bolts in place, so a nut wrench was required.

tell me it was really expensive ! so I dont get the urge to drive there and buy it !

do you know what size it was?

It was in the bargain bin so would be pretty cheap I imagine. Not sure what size but it looked standard so probably around 32/34/36
