Righto, new bike demands a tartier chainguide. It has a Superstar one on it, it’s very dowdy and weighs several grams too much. MRP 1X is the main contender, anything else I should be thinking of? No ISCG mounts… Reliable is most important but lightweight and pretty is also important 😉

I use a Pauls Components Chain keeper, very neat n’ tidy although we did have notice in the shop today of the new Hope Chain Device – check out the Hope website, very pretty looking and teeny.

I think the Hope ones are designed for bashrings aren’t they? Should have said, I’ll not be using one.

In that case you need a pauls chain device in your life, very nice bit of it, i bought mine from those nice peeps at aspirevelotech in the states, only took 4 days to arrive here in scotland.

Mmm, haven’t used one but I think I’d choose the MRP over that- wee bit lighter and much neater looking, to my eyes anyway. Definately one to look at though, ta!

That hope chain guide looks really nice!

this with the hope chainguide is what you need!

Naaaah, bike doesn’t want a bashring, I asked it. Clever things though, but £70 for a chainring, brrrr.

Is your super star one 34.9 seat tube mount and in good nic ?

Blackspire’s new ones look interesting.

Another vote for the Chainkeeper, it’s one of my fav bike purchases of all time.

It just works, and looks clean (IMO)

Chain keeper with Stinger?

Also available in ISCG versions… 55-65g so pretty light.
