MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Looking for a chainguard for my 1x10 setup. Don't like the MRP 1x as it has no lateral adjustment and I'm getting chain rub in quite a few gears.
So looking at the chainkeeper as that does allow some lateral (in-out) tuning. Anyone using one with a 1x setup ? Work well ? Can it cope with a 1x10 range OK without much rubbing ?
Ta.
Works fine on a 1x9 11-34 block, so should be ok on a 1x10 as the block is the same width isn't it?
Yes, use it on the 1x10 set up on my hard tail, worlds great and has plenty of adjustment to get the right position
Cheers guys, sounds like the ticket then 🙂
Now to find one! £46 is the "best" price I can find so far in UK without going down the import route 😯
Works fine no rubbing on my 1x9.
I did do the import myself & got it for about £35 last year.
Yeah, saw that. I need the high direct mount version though.
Wot they said. I ordered from Jenson USA. Got stung for tax and handling. Cost more than £46 all in.
Brick Lane Bikes could be your friend here....
Yup, they have 'em in stock for £46 posted.
You get stickers too..
Oooooooo 😛
OK, my ChainKeeper arrived today 🙂
It's a high direct mount version intended to fit on my Lurcher.
However there seem to be two versions of the HD mount chain keeper, one with a long arm and one with a short arm (confused!).
The image at the online shop where I bought mine showed the following

But what I received is

Note the much shorter arm.
I'm at work now so can't try to fit on the bike but what gives ? There's only mention of one high direct mount on the Paul website (where they show the "long" arm version).
Anyone got a HD mount chainkeeper ? Long or short arm ?
Ta.
I just looked at the chain keeper. Can somebody explain what the difference between it and a cheap front mech without the shifter and adjusted to the position you want? Is it just a weight thing say 69g vs 140g for a cheap alivio mech?
Functionally, not that much, the main appeal of the Pauls is the fact it looks super neat and tidy, even compared to other dedicated 1 x 10 devices.
Use mine with an 11-36 block and Shadow Plus mech, never lost the chain and it never makes a sound, great system.
You could use a front mech to do the same job 🙂
Hello. Apols for the high jack! Looking for an MRP, give me a shout if you are selling. Cheers.
I have a MRP 1x high direct mount which will be surplus to requirements *if* the Paul mount works.
Daft question time! My bike came with 2x10 (Salsa El Mariachi), can I just 1x10 it out of the box, or do I have to use a shorter cage rear mech?? Yup I has no clue if it is short cage or not 😛
Monkeychild I assume that you could just take the front shifter off. "Fix/Adjust" the front mech to the correct position and you have 1 X 10. The chain will be the same length unless you take the big ring off and just keep the small one then you will not need such a long chain.
Update: My vendor reckons that the version I've received will be OK for 32t chainring, will check tonight 🙂
