I have an MRP System 3 chainguide.
I also have an MRP lexanplasticwhathaveyou 36T bashguard that I'm going to assume came with the guide (it was on the bike when I bought it). The current bash on the guide is the metal variety, you know, the one that gets hung up on everything. Tonight I went to change the guard to the plastic one. Not enough clearance between the bash and the chainring for the chain to get onto the ring. I tried using washers and even the e.13 long chainring bolts to get it to work without avail, so I broke out the dremel. After a solid hour and a half of dremeling, I've gone through 4 bits and about to give up.
Is there a trick to this? Does MRP really lack an engineer (as shown by their latest shenanigans re: ripping off e.13) that can competently design something? I'm gonna keep dremeling until there's no dremel left to dremel with.
