I wasn't saying it was better than a real chainguide system but these are both XC application devices. Maybe if the jumpstop used a larger better plate it would have less issues - something that would be super easy to fab yourself.

That setup used to work pretty damn good in the mid nineties. Higher B-tension, wider chains, larger chainrings. It barely works for **** on CX bikes these days.

I watched people mess with N-stops for a couple years. I concluded, thru their extensive misfortune, that the things pretty much suck. It's entirely possible that our singletrack was too rough and they were asking too much in the name of weight savings, but I never saw a successful combination stem from the dozen riders that experimented with them. I always used the LG1, and would have no problem returning to it had I not found I didn't need the bashguard. For someone who wanted that feature, I'd opt for the additional lower pulley and worry free performance of the LG1 over various bash/jump stop combinations; but that's just me.

I had one of those third eye chain watchers on my Trek 830 (neon splatter paint, ugh) in the first few years of the 90s - seemed to work OK back then but it was my first mountain bike.

Just couldn't wait....

Haven't had a need for the full LG1 all winter, been riding mostly XC. 10+ hours of singletrack with no dropped chains as of yet. Looking forward to the real deal for my upcoming 29er build; bb92 and 1x10 drivetrain is going to require one of these bad boys

^ Nicely done!

Any updates on whether this will see production? And when?

Seat tube mount XCX Retention Systems look like they are on track for delivery sometime this summer but as of yet there is no "official" release date.

Very cool! As long as they are out by early September.

Very good news, I love my XCX but I really wish I had a seat tube mounted version. Every once in a while when the chain gets thrown off and I don't realize it, it will get sucked up into the guide and cause it to rotate forward and loosen.

Looking forward to that. Any thoughts on price?

Over 9000!


I'm not exactly sure but I would assume that it will be somewhere between current XCX-BB and the LG1+ pricing. I now that sounds a bit vague, however he manufacturing process is somewhat more complicated than any of our previous backplate designs so I'm even a bit curious to be honest.

Cool man, let us know. Currently rocking the LG-1 ... which is probably a bit overkill for 95% of the riding I'm doing these days.
