RaceFace Ride XC Single Speed Crank and MRP Chain Guide installed!
I just got my RaceFace Ride XC Singlespeed crankset and MRP Chain Guide in the mail a couple days ago and finally got the time to install it! Woot! I went with the RaceFace XC crankset because I'm going to go 1x10 on Jen's bike and also because it looks great! :) For the chain guide I was torn between the MRP, Origin-8, and e.18 guides, but I think the MRP one looks the best so I went with that.
The installation was very straight-forward, the only concern I have is that since I went with the bottom bracket mounted chain guide, I hope I got the angle right on the guide, otherwise I *may* need to pull the crank, and loosen the BB in order to change the angle which would be a hude pain in the rear...that said I do think I got it right.
I also removed the raceface backguard that came on the crank so I could use the MRP guide, but that was a sacrifice I knew I would make anyways, if I really wanted a bashguard I would have went with the MRP g2 mini.
Look great to me!
