XO Chain guide Repairable?

[scblack]

My chain guide was virtually wrecked on the weekend, the top and bottom plastic guides were ripped through by the chain, see pics below. Are these parts replaceable, or am I best to regard this as a goner? Its only the two plastic bits broken, it still works fine and is pedallable.

They're just rebranded MRP guides. Pretty sure MRP makes the bits available as replacements. I've got an MRP guide, but never needed to do this.

There's a top guide in here at least:

That's easily glued back up mate. Try that before getting new bits.

Yes, the top one you might be right, but the bottom one is well broken.

Aha thanks.


I might email Steve Cramer the distributor.

You can get away without the roller on the bottom, the top guide is where the party starts.

Keep the backing and print your own new design?

you can buy the parts as spares from SRAM but they're not cheap. I tore off the bottom same as you. i think the bottom guide and two jockey wheels (2x10) were between $50 and $60 from the LBS.

I'm getting a cSixx carbon chain device fitted.
