why ???

hucker13 said:That chainring might be too thick to fit in a double chainguide. It would rub on the bashgaurd part. Anyway, there is no need for that thick of a ring unless you're too cheap to buy a bashgaurd. It's prolly really expensive, too.
I think he meant on a system 2 style guide or any guide where the boomerang/inner plate is fixed and not rotating...however the wording was less than choice.BurlySurly said:
That didnt make a lick of sense.
How's it going to rub a bashguard that it's bolted to?
How would that work for someone who's to cheap to buy a bashguard when the point of a bashguard is to protect the chain and that chainring offers no such protection?
What comes to mind here is an MRP system (ie Foes style) where both plates could bolt directly up, and there'd be no space on the sides to ever lose the chain. I think it'd work perfectly well on my blackspire guide as well.

This isn't Snacks but thats ok. I am running a GRC ring on my M-1 with an MRP. The guide is set up with both plates rotating, ie - the inner plate isn't fixed to the boomerang, its bolted to the spider with the chainring and outer plate. In 6 years of running MRP's I've only dropped my chain twice, both times in race runs. With this set-up there isn't anyway the chain can drop since there is no place to go.Pip3r said:ive seen those kickin around before.

Thank you.dropmachine.com said:Again, rampant speculation by internet engineers gets a product unjustly slammed....
Why not ask GRC the reasoning behind the ring? From what i have heard, the ring is that thick to a) prevent bending, which is totaly logical and possible and b) to automatically space out the inner bashguard so that everything fits all nicely.
Bending, yeah maybe a reason. But if it's for spacing, why not just put a couple of small little nubs on it (like the pin on shimano rings that is next to the crank arm to prevent chain pinch)?dropmachine.com said:Again, rampant speculation by internet engineers gets a product unjustly slammed....

I reckon it's a killer idea. Everything nice and solid like it's all one piece. That chain's not going anywhere.Snacks said:I have attached 3 pictures - 2 of the M-1 and one of my GT without the GRC ring. There is a reason I can't put one on the GT, has something to do with the unique boomerang of the I-drive. You can see the gap on the GT and how solid the M-1 is set-up. The M-1 has dual rotaters' but it would work the same and give you the same benefits with a fixed inner plate.
Wow.... a Mr Dirt over an MRP? Wow......partsbara said:... i for one would prefer a system more along the lines of the e13 or mr dirt... partsbara
