RossW Posted March 15, 2012 Share Hi all,So I went for the X-Guide on my 2x10 system which is installed on my Santa Cruz Blur LT (older model - 2009). My LBS phoned this afternoon to say it is impossible to fit. That it does not line up with the chain at all. He wasted 2 hours trying to get it fitted and running. To me it would be easy. Fit between BB (it's a BB mount version) and frame as a spacer and presto, done. Any experiences with this guide?

RossW Posted March 15, 2012 Share It keeps the chain from bouncing off too often. Both onto the crank side and also to the small chain ring. I've just done some further research and see that the Blur LT has a 73mm BB shell meaning that you don't use spacers ... and the guide installs as a spacer! What a waste.

RossW Posted March 15, 2012 Share Yes except mine does not have the holes for the ISCG 05 mounting. Found this:http://www.mountainr...2x-fit-and-faq/"Does the BB-mount work on SRAM/Truvativ GXP cranks?Yes. Even if there are no spacers installed on your BB. On a 68mm shell the BB mount 2x guide should be installed between the drive-side spacer and the BB cup. On a 73mm shell the guide should be installed between the BB shell and BB cup." The mystery deepens .... Edited March 15, 2012 by Ross Winckworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
