Hey brains trust, throwing this out there to see if my feeble brain is missing anything.
Bike has 50mm or rearward axle path, so the lower chain guide is essential, to free up more chain as you compress suspension.
They came out with eagle 50t, and when in the big cogs…ie climbing…the drag is more noticeable. I only run a 42t these days, which has less drag already, but I reckon I can reduce further if I lower the guide further. When fully compressed, I’m no where near running out of chain using an SGS m8000 derailleur
So…I’m thinking…..the ISCG05 guide that comes on the bike doesn’t have slotted mounts like bought ones, so I can’t rotate the roller a bit lower. I could either file/drill slots in the stock one, or cut the top off spares slotted guides I have.
Stop me any time…
