Today was the maiden voyage with the @ruckuscomponent Chain Guard. The best thing one could say is the they didn’t notice the fancy new bike component on their bike. The reason this is a great comment is that it means the system is working as designed and they could focus on other things like getting lost in the woods or out-running honey badgers.
This is one of those items. I didn’t notice I had it on. Meaning my front ring is SOLID now. No tossing the chain to the inside and now no tossing the chain to the outside! I would have a chain mishap once every offroad ride with the 1x9 setup on the Karate Monkey. Now nothing. I didn’t even think about the issue at all today. That piece of mind is priceless in my book.
