Chain Guide for 4x

Kind of late for me since I already put a MRP mini me on my 4x bike. Without a front derailer It seems like I could easily eject the chain off the front chainring. I noticed that it looks like some of the geared black market bikes dont run a chain guide. Is theyre a secret I'm missing on running gears in the back without a chainguide in the front. The mrp mini me looks sweet but It is a little added weight,

 

I strongly suggest running a chain guide system. Some of the people who don't run them are probably mostly riding street. There are a lot of good guides out there, so I can't say which I think is best because I haven't used many of them. I'm using an E13 LG1.

 

blackspire stinger is cheap and simple:?::wave:

 

mehhhh. ditch the chain.

 

Lately, I'm really in to the new MRP G2. I'm pretty sure it's the lightest guide out that encloses the chain up top, and has a roller down low. The G2 is also relatively inexpensive.

The LG-1 is lighter till you add the taco. The G2 comes with a taco like thing installed.

 

this is the one i have on my 4x. i think youve seen it. ive never dropped the chain, i think its really sturdy, and the only reason i bought it was because it was the cheapest at jenson. all though i couldnt find it on there web site, i bought this one for 65 bucks. system 1

(iscg mount not pictured on this model, but avail)

 

There is no need for a taco or a bash guard in 4X.

 

Good point.

If it is strict 4x, maybe spend the extra $ and get the E13 LG-1. It's a sick guide.

 

LG-1 is the shizz

 

I have the system 1 mini me I dint even think about running it without the taco sounds like it may be a plan
