patches Posted September 26, 2013 Share I dont know why they sent you the dark blue one, you do get the light blue one too. Yeah, their site shows 2 different examples of blue (dark for the 30T, and light for the other), but they only list 1 type of "blue" in their colour options. And based on a goodle image search, it seems it varies somewhat. So maybe it varies according to batch... kinda like Hope blue products. Not all of them are the same. This seems to be the lighter blue shown in their "colour options" http://www.evanscycles.com/product_image/image/87f/751/c52/104002/product_page/race-face-single-narrow-wide-chainring.jpg And here's one more like the blue I received... http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb9843782/p4pb9843782.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimsum Posted September 26, 2013 Share Yup... that is a problem. I know of some LBSers that have never seen a chain guide in real life. Here's roughly what it should look like... See, no gaps on the top guide for the chain to jump out of. That black stuff on the inside of the top guide wear-plate is self adhesive velcro (the soft half). This makes the guide a little bit more quiet, and less like a pepper grinder Thanks! Will see if I can fiddle around with the guide a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted September 26, 2013 Share Thanks! Will see if I can fiddle around with the guide a bit.There should be an adjuster with little markings telling you where to position the top guide based on the size of your ring. If that fails tap it into position with a largish hammer. A 4 pounder should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayleyearth Posted September 26, 2013 Share Really keen to pull the trigger but I know on my first ride in longmore my legs will absolutely hate me!!!! Its noe thing training in one front ring but it's comforting knowing it's there.Decision time though.......... no man, you will be fine there.Just spoke about Longmore over the weekend - man I miss that place and stopping at the waterfall for a dip.

doppelganger Posted September 26, 2013 Share Just placed my order Can't wait to try it. I will be running 1x8 first with some old spares. If I like it I will get 1x9 with a clutch derailleur... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But generally they're 10sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer my 4 pound hammer approach. I cover the plastic with a towel so it shouldn't crack. On that I put the new suspension linkage on the Reign yesterday. Easy enough but I would have preferred it to not have broken in the first damn place. Edited September 26, 2013 by Omega Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_mil Posted September 26, 2013 Share HEY! No what product costs R515 ront? I'm guessing that since the thread is about Race Face narrow-wide chain rings, the the R515 is about Race Face narrow-wide chainrings...But maybe not. I see they are R519 (five hundred & nineteen ronds) on BuyCycle (http://www.buycycle.co.za/brands/raceface-en-2-3-4-5-6/raceface-single-narrow-wide-chainring.html)But only stock 32t & 34t It's like they don't care about us guys who can actually pedal (or live where it is really flat) Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
