XCX Seat Tube Mount Prototype
- Thread starter PhilipW
- Start date
That setup used to work pretty damn good in the mid nineties. Higher B-tension, wider chains, larger chainrings. It barely works for **** on CX bikes these days.
I had one of those third eye chain watchers on my Trek 830 (neon splatter paint, ugh) in the first few years of the 90s - seemed to work OK back then but it was my first mountain bike.
Just couldn't wait....
Haven't had a need for the full LG1 all winter, been riding mostly XC. 10+ hours of singletrack with no dropped chains as of yet. Looking forward to the real deal for my upcoming 29er build; bb92 and 1x10 drivetrain is going to require one of these bad boys

^ Nicely done!
Any updates on whether this will see production? And when?
Seat tube mount XCX Retention Systems look like they are on track for delivery sometime this summer but as of yet there is no "official" release date.
Very cool! As long as they are out by early September.
Very good news, I love my XCX but I really wish I had a seat tube mounted version. Every once in a while when the chain gets thrown off and I don't realize it, it will get sucked up into the guide and cause it to rotate forward and loosen.
Looking forward to that. Any thoughts on price?
Over 9000!
I'm not exactly sure but I would assume that it will be somewhere between current XCX-BB and the LG1+ pricing. I now that sounds a bit vague, however he manufacturing process is somewhat more complicated than any of our previous backplate designs so I'm even a bit curious to be honest.
