I don't see why not, the only thing that I suggest with the Saints is that you ditch the Saint chainring and use something with less offset, such as an e.thirteen guide ring. Either way it should set up no problem really.sorry to hijack the thread, but could a e 13 Lg1 be fitted to a Demo 8 07 frame using some Saint cranks?? cheers to whoever could help me with that :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Derek at e.thirteen can give you Bighit setup instructions too if you need them, not that its too hard, you basically take the guide out of the box and bolt it to the bike..
Hope this helps!

Measure the width of the two bolts that hold together the roller assembly on your current guide. If they are 6mm, you'll need to get a new pulley and hardware kit. If you don't have calipers to measure the bolt, just check to see what size allen key you need to tighten those bolts - a 5mm allen key = a 6mm bolt = new bolts/pulley needed. If it's a 4 mm allen key, that means you have 5mm hardware and you're all set.
John P's got it dialed for you, (thanks John!) just to make sure that everything is clear, you can make the 2005 and previous roller work, but it uses a 6mm inner diameter bearing instead of a 5mm inner diameter bearing like the newer models. The lower hardware changed to 5mm instead of 6mm also.
Call the dudes at e13, they'll know for sure.
Take in to consideration that the Demo frames still have a 73mm BB and a 135mm rear hub with a 6mm offset.sorry to hijack the thread, but could a e 13 Lg1 be fitted to a Demo 8 07 frame using some Saint cranks?? cheers to whoever could help me with that :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
the new 40T backplates are ace with the big hit frames. In your case i would go with the wide angle system which comes as a complete kit this year.
At this point you will be replacing everything but the roller to get the guide installed. it will be more cost effective to just go all teh way and get a new system instead of making a Frankenstein system. With the new system you can even convert to an LG1 for race day!

This set up will ideally require a crankset which can accommodate a 57mm chainline and a 73mm BB shell.
The trick will be to install the iscg adapter with the cupped side facing away from the shell, which will act as your 6mm spacer to match the front and rear chaillinnes.....just when you thought we were finished this set up will also yield the added bonus of correcting the over clockwise rotated iscg tabs at the same time.
saints will only give you a 50mm chainline paired with a 57m rear which =
Presuming the spindle is long enough and you add some additional spacers this would be similar to a set up using Race Face 83mm BB-57mm chainline cranks with the after market 73mm BB reducing kit...so i believe it will be fine.

The Deity sprocket may be a bit too thick though if you're using it with the system.
to simplify. yes. the ideal ring or sprocket thickness is about 3mm. the wider style sprockets are a bit too thick for use in a chain retention system. our systems for example are designed around having the backplate and bash being the backbone of the support rather than relying on the thickness of the ring.okay, thick in the sense it may rub with the chainguide??cheers!!
