Hi guys,
For those of you wanting to run an XCX on your brand new Specialized or Pivot (or any other frame with S3 Direct Mount, Sram S3/E2, Shimano Etype/E2 mounts)...we've got the XCX.Etype on its way (ETA March 1). MSRP is $54.95...other technical specs on the product page below.

Just another mounting option if you have any sort of pressfit style bottom bracket and want to go to a 1x setup. The Shimano DirectMount version is also in the works.

Hooray for sneaky website updates!

Cheers,

Ok, you guys have a BB mount, a seat tube mount, and now an e-type mount. That leaves just one - a braze-on mount. I'm telling you, there are a lot of frames out there (carbon cx) that only have a braze-on front derailleur mount and no other way to mount a single ring guide. Make a braze-on mount and you have all bases covered :thumb:

CX rigs use a smaller (43.5mm-ish for road cranksets) chainline and sort of need their own version to work.

We are producing the Shimano Direct Mount XCX for everyone with that. Too many standards to keep up with...

What distro's, or shops have the e.type guide? My LBS has proven useless so far.

We've got White ones on hand, and a pretty significant number that should be showing up either today or tomorrow (fingers crossed). Have your LBS give us a call, or feel free to call yourself and we can get you on the list. QBP/BTI/Online places will be up and running fairly quickly thereafter.

Cheers,

would it be possible to use one of these devices and space it out far enough to align with the outer ring position? i have a frame that i want to use a bigger chainring on, but it wont run a 42 tooth in the middle chainring position?

many thanks!

DrJ,
I don't see why not. I'd probably go with some fairly long (10.6 or 12.8) steel M6 bolts...and some M6 washers. Typical chainline for the outer ring is around 54mm or so, so I would even consider spacing the crankset inward slightly (e.g. put 2.5mm BB spacer to non-driveside).

Other than that, I don't really see any major issues. :thumb:
