Well, when you figure out how i insulted him, you let me know smart guy!sleepinggiant said:Hey Transcend, insteed of insulting him, how about you actually answer his question.
i think it's 'cause those Daisnese pads have yet to sell.ChrisRobin said:Don't mind Transcend, he's negative. That's just the way he is.
they sold!the Inbred said:i think it's 'cause those Daisnese pads have yet to sell.
Thanks for the exhaustive answer...Transcend said:If you see them as equal, you should probably look again.
Is this the poly bashring or the aluminum one?jon-boy said:I've had a System 3 fitted for a while now, since October maybe. I've had no issues with it whatsoever. Easy to install, kept the chain on 100% and the bashring does hold up to some decent abuse (it's thicker that the sys 1 and 2 rings). I think it's a worthy e-13 competitor.
I think you should add that, while not very complicated to do, it was a bit of a pain in the ass to put on. But you could say that for chainguides in general.911 said:I run MRP stuff... maybe that makes me 'uncool' but whatever. I've never had any problems with their guides. They're simple, easy to set up, quiet, and do what they're supposed to.
Evil guides are cool and the bash guard is probably stronger... but I don't really smash my bike into rocks that often. Anyway, just put a System 3 on my downhill bike, I'll let you know what I think once I ride it a bit.
El_Chimichanga said:The System 3 is pretty cool though, a lot better that the 1 or 2 IMO.
When I said "a lot better" I guess I meant that I liked the way it works a lot better, not that I think it will automatically perform a lot better.James | Go-Ride said:I don't see the S3 being much better than a System 1 on a bike that can take it with a decent chainline, there is no better guide than two spinning plates, period.
That said, the S3 looks promising, we'll see how they hold up.
Having two spinning plates does absolutely nothing about tensioning or even guiding a chain. I do not see how this statement is even remotely true.James | Go-Ride said:there is no better guide than two spinning plates, period.
Not a chance. At least not until MRP starts making the rollers black at the factory.merrrrjig said:The MRP looks way better!
I don't mean the two spinning plates by themselves, don't take what I'm saying out of context. I'm not sure how you figure having two spinning plates doesn't effect the "guide" part of the chainguide. As long as your chainring sits lower than the plates, it would seem logical to assume that the plates would help "guide" the chain onto the ring should it try to pull off the ring.heikkihall said:Having two spinning plates does absolutely nothing about tensioning or even guiding a chain.

That being said I used to think the same thing but I have easily been proven many times that it is simply just not true.
You can run it on BB7?WheelieMan said:Not a chance. At least not until MRP starts making the rollers black at the factory.
E13 for life!!
If the chainline is even decent then the chain will (should) never touch the rotating plates. I dont consider those plates to be guiding the chain onto the chainring. I consider the top roller on the system 1 to be the "guide". I have seen plenty of MRP System 1 guides without those rotating plates work just fine most of the time, given a proper set up. I think the System 1 is a great guide. I ran that guide exclusively for a couple of years on a couple of different frames and had pretty good luck with it. But I had a few problems and saw a few flaws and decided to look elsewhere.James | Go-Ride said:I don't mean the two spinning plates by themselves, don't take what I'm saying out of context.

That's true, I forgot about that.Jeremy R said:Buy E13. They made a shirt with Bodie on it for God's sake.
