chain guide compatability

tombanbury

I'm thinking of ditching my triple chainring set up for a single ring and so I need a chainguide, but I'm new to this idea and am a bit confused about how they fit to the bike.

It might or it might not.

what fittings (if any) does the frame have?

tombanbury

no it doesn't have either of those, does that mean there's no way to do it?

tombanbury

oh hang on i didn't see the third one on the far right. that's how my frame is. So the guide just sits over the bottom bracket?

ride_whenever

the hole in the middle goes behind the BB, so you'll need to remove the bb to fit a bb/e-type mounted. e.13 and a few others also make an adaptor that fits behind the bb to give you ISCG mounts.

nicklouse

yes so you will need a BB tool to remove the cup and a crank puller possibly.

tombanbury

ah ok that's much less complex than i thought

thanks a lot
