Eurobike 2016: Carbocage Chainguides

This article was originally published on Singletrackworld.com, but with the popularity in 1 x drivetrains we thought it might be of interested over here too.
Are you lacking bling? Got a carbon bike, and not sure how to make it lighter or fancier? Well fret no more, because it turns out you can always fit more carbon on a bike, and that’s what Carbocage exist for.
A Carbocage is not a prison made of pasta, nor the feeding pen we put Jason Miles in the night before a race, but a German company making carbon fibre chain guides, amongst other widgets. They caught our eye at Eurobike because of the relatively simple construction method: CNCed flat layers of carbon with spacers.
You can only buy direct from their website at the moment, but on the stand they said they’re currently looking for a UK distributor.

The range they have is expansive – they probably have a guide to fit pretty much any bike.

Andi is a gadget guru and mountain biker who has lived and ridden bikes in China and Spain before settling down in the Peak District to become Singletrack's social media expert. He is definitely more big travel fun than XC sufferer but his bike collection does include some rare hardtails - He's a collector and curator as well as a rider. Theory and practice in perfect balance with his inner chi, or something. As well as living life based on what he last read in a fortune cookie Andi likes nothing better than riding big travel bikes.
