Hairy Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Until you ride with a carbon chainguide! It's like riding with a beercan full of stones taped to your bike.I had one of these on my old carbon stumpy and it certainly did not make a noise.. Eddy Gordo 1
Duane_Bosch Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) I had one of these on my old carbon stumpy and it certainly did not make a noise.. A chainguide isn't going to rattle on a road commute...... I've had 1 of those boys too and my bike sounded like a bag of spanners falling down the stairs until I remedied the situation with velcro. In fact I think it's still in my box of spares. Look that's just my experience. Done 2 Alps trips with NW and never lost a chain so for me chainguides are confined to the history books. Anyone who's ridden Les Gets Main line will know if there's a place in the world you will lose a chain it's there. There are about 100000000000000000000000 braking bumps on that trail.

Out of interest, have your experiences with alu and plastic guides been better RE the beer can rattle noise?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Which NW ring you using?FWIW - ran a Raceface on my reign x. Dropped left right and centre, with proper chain length and a SRAM x9 type 2 rd. Changed that to a SRAM XX1 and no problems. Same with Kalbo ring, current ring (cheap chinese ****) and a Praxis ring. No drops at all. I fully eblieve it's related to the tooth profile. Rounded / pointy like the RF = bad. Square like XX1 = good. New XX1 = best, apparently. Unless it was my technique at fault, or the clutch that was faulty. But the diff between the RF & XX1 rings was night and day. Edited August 24, 2017 by Myles Mayhew

Grease_Monkey Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Polygon UR have their hands on some chunky 220mm rotors to pair with their Trickstuff stoppers. Can't wait to get my hands on some of these! 220 in the front and 203 on the back. I wonder if adapters will be readily available - I am already using a getting adapted 180mm adapter for the 203mm rotor. Y tho? (For this thread) Because fat. Eddy Gordo 1
