I'm currently working on building up an AC1. What are those things around the bottom bracket housing? Mounts for a chain guide?

sneaky peaky

Yes, it's a chainguide mount.

Like that one.

Did you get the bike new? If you did it should have come with a chain guide for the bike....granted it's not a great one...but it's something. So yes as kingLatency said it is for mounting a chainguide. All though not all chain guides have the holes fo the ISCG mount.

 

[Evilmunch]

I bought the frame and fork seperate. ISCG? Is that the terminology for this type of chain guide mount? As you can probably tell, I know nothing about chain guides.

 

[Evilmunch]

almost done

ICGS = International Chain Guide Standard. MRP and Mr. Dirt came up with it, according to the Surly Instigator page.

the bolts on the bottom of your frame are indeed for a chainguide but it is for a giant chainguide. The holes are not ISCG standard chainguide mounts. They only work with the chainguide that giant supplies with the bike.

Are there any aftermarket chain guides out there that will work with this?

Dont believe so... and doubt very much a company would make a guide to fit one model from one manufacturer. Giant should have been smart and just found a way to use ICGS

Bleh, what would be the best way for me to obtain a giant chain guide?

I kinda figured you were.

 

[MisterMental]

the bottom left one looks like the mount for my AC lower chainguide on my ATX

 

[Arsbars]

ghettorig something

 

[mrbigisbudgood]

I personally perfer to have the guide sandwiched in between the BB shell and the BB. That way, if the guide takes a hit, it just slips instead of breaking tabs on your frame.

Just a thought.

 

[Tenchiro]

The chainguide that cam with my AC2 seems kinda flimsy, I don't know how useful it would be if it took a good hit.

 

[MisterMental]

nah the chainguide on mines sprung, so when you hit a rock it just bounces
