The 1x11 Enduro Racing Drive Train Journey Part 2



The 1x11 Enduro Racing Drive Train Journey

Part 2

After returning from the final Oregon Enduro race I decided to install and test MRP’s Micro Chain Guide designed for 28-32t single direct mount chain rings.
  



The MRP Micro Chain Guide installation was fairly simple:   The top guide was aligned using the included spacers behind the backing plate and the ISCG-05 tabs.  But, to get the lower pulley to line up with the Wolf Tooth chain ring I had to add two 1mm washers (not included) on the lower guide shaft.   Use of this guide has been flawless and eliminated the minor dropped chain issues caused by using my non “clutch” derailleur.  There is some minor noise associated from the chain rolling on the lower guide pulley while pedaling but it is easy to ignore during a ride.
