FOREFRONT
The “Forefront” feature allows for 4-way, front-accessible setup and adjustment. This broad adjustability makes installation less “trial-and-error” and more “set-and-forget.”
Nice and light, small, doesn’t get in the way of anything. Used the thicker spacers for my Transition Patrol. Been using MRP guides since the ‘90’s, love em!
If you aggressively ride an IBIS Ripley V4, then I can't recommend this chainguide enough. Wow, the fit, the function, the size, the clever adjustment points. I would buy this again and recommend to all my friends. There is not very much room with the DW Links on this version of the Ripley and this guide is a perfect all mountain "keep the chain on" but not *overkill* guide. This guide bolts directly to the IBIS "bottom bracket spacer tab thinga-ma-jig" that is meant to mount guides to. Perfectly. I used the bigger spacer washers on my application and the chain is perfectly centered across the cassette range and does not rub anywhere. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Stop reading. Buy it. I'm serious. I have owned a ton of guides (I tried to get all of the old ones to fit this bike to no avail!) and this one is KING. Order now.
It's an axle that is tightened with an Allen wrench- nothing fancy. But it works well and is nicely machined and makes me happy.
Spring is as advertised. I'm 195lbs kitted on an older Hazzard and 425lbs seems to be right number for me. Still dialing it in but I am happy with this, though this is my first coil, so I do not have much else to compare this today.
Customer service is awesome and super responsive. Definitely appreciate the team being as helpful as they are!
Its design and manufacturing is obviously completed with an eye towards durability. Add to that is how easy it was to install. I use an oval chainring, and MRP quickly responded to my question regarding fit. Answer? Add two to my 30 tooth ring and order the guard that fits a 32 tooth ring. Done!
Excellent product and service will recommend to a friend
Don't be afraid to try this if you're 200 pounder. I added 5 psi to maintain 20% sag and I'm utilizing more travel on the same trails.
