Does anyone have this particular set up?
I'm getting down to the nitty gritty of my bfe build and I'm struggling a bit with the stinger. Iscg 05 mounted, I've installed it with the washers/spacers provided, followed the instructions from the PDF from Blackspire but it doesn't look like the roller is lining up with the middle chain ring.
Anyone got pics of this set up?

Also when I come to install the chain, is it big ring to big ring as usual or do I have to make adjustments for the stinger?
Cheers!

my mate has this setup - actually uses the stinger to prevent chain suck as it successfully blocks the chain from going there as the front mech keeps hold of the chain well.

anyway - just use the amount of washers/spacers required to line up the middle ring.

Chain - big ring to big ring plus 2 links as a minimum

In case you're not sure, when the chain is in the granny ring it actually rests on the raised inner of the roller. In middle ring it's in the dip only.

That's the set-up I've got on my BFe.
I've got the BB with one spacer in the drive side. The stinger is fitted with no spacer washers and works well.
I had it running without the Stinger to begin with so I've stuck with my initial chain length which was big ring to big ring + 2 links.

No, I ignored the Stinger and just did the normal big ring to big ring.
