OneUp Components ISCG05 Chainguide With Bashguard features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Chain Guides. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of OneUp Components ISCG05 Chainguide With Bashguard.

The first thing is material. Looking at what OneUp Components ISCG05 Chainguide With Bashguard is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Chain Guides. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Chain Guides. Brands like OneUp Components are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Chain Guides category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

• Description: OneUp Components ISCG05 Chainguide With BashguardEliminate dropped chains with this chainguide with bashguard, which was designed with input from top EWS World racers. This chainguide features a reinforced nylon bash guard and a backplate cut from 8mm thick 7075-T6 aluminium. This ensures that the OneUp Bash Guide can handle the biggest hits, but at a weight of only 105g (34T) you may forget it’s even there.NOT JUST FOR ENDURO RACERSThe OneUp Bash Guide is equally at home on your trail bike, where the extra bash protection is a must for aggressive riders or on your DH rig. With the popularity of clutch derailleurs, it is no longer necessary to run a chain guide with a lower roller to effectively tension your chain. DH racers and Bike Park rippers will appreciate the huge reduction in drag with the elimination of the lower roller, without sacrificing any strength or chain retention.The OneUp Bash Guide includes 3 different sizes of bash plate for compatibility with chainrings from 28-36T. GUIDE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS1. Remove top guide by removing the front top guide nut with a 4mm hex (never adjust the rear T25 bolt). 2. Set slider in the highest position. 3. Hold backplate directly against ISCG05 tabs. Check for clearance between the back side of the bashplate/guide and the bike frame (use included 2.5mm spacers if necessary to space the backplate away from the frame). 4. Rotate backplate until slider adjustment bolt is directly above the crank axle and torque bolts to 5Nm. 5. With crankset and chain installed, use spacer shim block to measure clearance between back plate and chain. 6. Determine the corresponding number of chainline shims required. 7. If more than 5 shims are required, install the supplied 2.5mm washers behind the backplate and return to step 2. 8. Assemble top guide with spacers and tighten bolt to 3Nm. 9. Insert a 4mm hex through the hole in the inner top guide, loosen height adjustment bolt and lower the tool onto the chain. Torque to 3Nm to set height. BASH REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS1.
