Does anyone know what chaindevice is suitable for a Blur LTC, could not get the superstar plasma to fit because of the bulky BBarea, also whats the difference between ISCG and ISCG 05

I’ve thought about putting a dual and bash on mine but the lower pivot is very low and i think would hit anything before the bash ring, making it a risky buisness…..

ISCG 05 is the new standard on bike made 05 or after.
are you using a single ring front setup?

Eh? There isnt a “standard” on bikes, they are either ISCG or ISCG05, regardless of the fact they are made after 2005.

Theres a diagram on the e13 site that shows the difference between the two, they have different bolt hole pattern.

Yes it is a single ring

check out the mtbr santa cruz forum, there’s some discussion over there about chain tensioners on the LTc. In a nutshell, it’s a pain in the rs, but do-able with the correct chain device and a hacksaw.

Just looking for said thread on chain device’s, can’t seem to see one? 🙄

ok will have a look

Here’s one…

Sounds really chewy 🙄

To be honest i’m more concerned about protecting the lower pivot form getting damaged by the chain/rocks…. Any ideas?

oh there are a load of threads about that too :-). Personally I just use copter tape & replace when required, but those crazy Americans have all sorts of things going on.

MRP are supposed to have worked with Intense who have the same issues with a protruding lower link and the G2/Mini is what they recommend.

I’m running a modded Blackspire Stinger on my Uzzi with an MRP LRP roller as a cheap and cheerfull dual ring effort. Use a single ring specific roller and that might be an easyish answer.

The problem I find is that you have to set the boomerang so low to clear the driveside chainstay that it protrudes below the bash, and as such gets absolutely mashed on a regular basis.

It looks like the MRP lopes sl might be the best but why is it sooooo expensive?
