Chain guide for triple chainring?

mishima

Hi,

Just bought a new bike and I'm wanting to get a chain guide for it but it has oversized chainstay so its proving difficult. I also have triple chainrings at the front, does anyone know of an oversized chain guide for triple chainring?

I think not - I've wanted one for ages but no one seems to know of one! Think I posed a similar question a few months back and the answer was 'no'

Sir HC

Why do you want a chainguide for a triple ring chainset ?

mishima

...so the chain doesn't come off when im riding technical sections the setup on it is very much freeride but it has 3 rings.

I know of two devices that do the job, but they won't fit oversized chainstay.





I might just get one of these and somehow modify it to fit oversized chainstay

Well I decided to go ahead with the kore one. Fitted some spiral wrap to protect the chainstay instead of forking out rediculous money for a bit of cloth!! Had to get some longer screws for the kore tensioner as the stock one's didn't allow me to fix it to my chainstay with it being oversize. Works a treat!

Looks more like a tensioner than a guide to me.
Seems a bit pointless..

mishima

explain...

A tensioner ensures that at the current gear you're running the tension in the chain remains close to max so the tension general in the chain means it runs smothly. A chain guide should help to prevent such thigs as chain suck, and help with the tension of the chain.

both seem very similar to me!
