So im building up a hardtail soon. Gonna go with a 2 ring setup and a chainguide. I find it hard to believe that a little orange roller (LRP) is gonna run me almost 90 bucks. Do I have any other better and/or cheaper options? What do you guys use?
P.S. frame has ISCG mounts....
bashgaurd and a front der. is fine for you hommie.
i wouldn't put an LRP on there unless fou find you need it.
otherwise, truvativ's is fairly $$$ as well
I need to throw a chainguide on there. My bike slaps so bad it is absurd. I wanna make this fucker silent.:biggrin:Quote:

edit - http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/143...Chainguide.htm eh? that work with 2 rings?
Get an e13 DRS. Pricey at 150 or so, but worth it if you're gonna run two rings.
Yeah ive heard those are the shit. But pricey for sure. Found one fer 125...Quote:

switching from your garbage FS to the instigator will make all the difference in the world, as will the super gucci stay protector i will be installing.Quote:

A lot of DHer will run a mid-30 something to 40 ring on the outer ring ( 32 just spins). Buy the DRS, it will save you A LOT OF HEADACHE.REALLY.Quote:

edit - Sweet. Ill take that front disc for sure! Ill stop by if im back in time and see what he thinks. I may drop the coin for the e13....should work with ISCGs right?
Part #-DRS.36.104C.IOLD ( E13 4 bolt, 104 mm BCD, 36t max dual thingy floppy ), assuming you have a 4 bolt crank assbl.Quote:

Thanks train. That was pretty much gibberish, but i think the options are 4 or 5 bolt, and mine are 4.
i'll build that fucker up for ya, and it won't slap
i was 2 up front (though it is currently a Singlespeed)
trust me. for how you ride, you really don't need a e-13 yet...
spend the cash on a good rear brake, and some burly handlebars and stem...
The DRS is the only option IMO. Bullits drop chains while you're standing still and I'm yet to drop one since I installed this thing.
Ok. Deal.Quote:

You 2 are so cute. You should exchange phone numbers, that'll save you the trouble of typing. :D
seeing what my phone bill was last month. This is better. And besides, you wouldn't be able to chime in with that super helpful 1 sentence comment.:pQuote:

just curious if i am smoking crack or what
No, I think you're right. I didn't realize chainslap was the only issue.
Hardtail: Take the recommended chain length and then yank out six links or so. Yeah, you might lose yer 32 or 34t in the rear, but by the time you use that gear, you'll be humping that pig.
(and don't forget the old cut tube on the chainstay as well :biggrin: )
i run the chain length so its a SS length @ 32-32Quote:
