Anyone here (dw, JohnP, Heikki) have the scoop on when the new guides will be available? Saw one this weekend-on Heikki's bike I think.
I felt the same way, but after I got a good look at it, it does improve over the current guide...eliminates the few small issues I've had with my SRSs(like slight rubbing), dropped some weight, and probably improved chain retention.dropmachine.com said:Seriously, not kissin ass here but how could they get better then whats out? You have any idea how hard it is to find something to complain about with the current guide?
Anyone got info on the new changes?
That's the one I saw on Heikki's bike, but it has an inboard bash plate behind the ring-attached to or part of the boomerang.leprechaun said:Are you guys speaking of the slalom specific ultra light plastic block with no bashring?Saw that on a Luna Bike i think-great for slalom type riding but i need a bashring.
Ha, no doubt.dropmachine.com said:Seriously, not kissin ass here but how could they get better then whats out? You have any idea how hard it is to find something to complain about with the current guide?

OHHH that one. Ya, that one is cool too. Now they need a gadget to keep Fabien from breaking cranks.heikkihall said:All I can say is that it is not a replacement for the SRS. The SRS will remain the flagship model chain retention system from e.thirteen. The new guide is meant for race specific bikes on courses that you are not really worried about clearance issues. It retains the chain just as well as the SRS as it uses most of the same mechanical properties but It loses some weight by not using the full bashring. Fabian ran it on his bike to win the Mont Saint Anne World Cup and I have been running it since that time on my DH bike since about the same time. Although it does offer some bash protection it will not offer the same Security as the SRS.
Where did you see my bike? and you didnt say hi?
Please no pictures. I dont want to spoil the suprise for everyone just yet.
Sorry Heikki, you were getting of the lift during practice and I wasn't sure if it was you-I'm kinda shyheikkihall said:Where did you see my bike? and you didnt say hi?

I htought you were serious for a second! I had MAJOR issues with the MRO on my M1. The thing would stick to rocks and rotate everything. The bottom 2 ISCG tabs were stripped, but fixed that with longer bolts and nuts. Getting a Supercharger slightly larger than the inner plate fixed everything though.thaflyinfatman said:It should be noted that MRP are also offering a new version of their guide for next year. The features include:
- Aluminium outer plate (3mm for less momentum reduction whenever it touches something). Doubles as an origami sheet for when you're injured.

ISCG 05 is made to work with BMX BBs, ISIS overdrive, regular BBs, spanish BBS, whatever you have. All you need are the tabs welded to the frame.Stoked said:is anyone still waiting for one that will work w/ a bmx bb my km-1 is shot!
i know people have 'made' them work on theirs, but im too lazy for that.
Absolutely!!beaverbiker said:do you still get to pop out the plastic pieces like a fun model plane?
Not a bad idea at all.ChrisKring said:Transformers, robots in disguise.
Can you integrate a allen key holster into the chain guide so I can make trail side adjustments?
We will make it work Brian!Brian Peterson said:DW,
We gots to talk.... Are you guys going to have Mike run my tradition 6:00 beer over to me during the show? I noticed you guys are quite a bit further away from our booth this year...

Imagine of the robot could heckle you on your race run and give you advice on line choices too.dropmachine.com said:Dave, you're a smart guy, just THINK about how much cooler that guide would be if you could also make it into a killer robot.
