Do any of you know if a Saint crank is compatible with an E 13 SRS chainguide?

yeah it is. you will probably have to spend a bit of time with a file making the crank cut out on the bash guard bigger like i had to. but other than that mine works fine.

I thought the newest versions of the Supercharger had the necessary recesses to allow for Saint/Hone cranks. The older version might require a little filing.

This years E13 guides work with Saint (and other cranks of this style) with out needing to make modifications. Older E13 bash rings require some filing to fit fat crank arms.

so make sure you get the newer version. Some mail order places or shops may still have the '04 models left....D

Our guides work fine with Saint cranks. There are, however, a couple of points which need to be taken note of. The new bashguards, which are embossed, now fit perfectly on the crankarm. The older version of the bashguard needs to be slightly modified to fit the crankarm. The crankarm recess needs to be opened up slightly and the two chainring bolt tabs closest to the arm itself need to be taken down a little. All of this can be done with a dremel tool. The inner diameter of the ISCG mount would need to be opened up (if you even need the adapter) to allow the threads of the BB cup to pass through more readily. A lot of manufacturers are now moving towards cutting the threads closer to the outer limit of the tolerance allowed for the external thread diameter. Also, the inner diameter of the backplate hole would need to be opened up (on earlier models). This will allow for the external bearing BB cup to fit inside. Both of these modifications can also be done with a dremel tool or file.
