Gsport uniguard

[weedbix]

Anyone got any negative feedback on these or do they live up to the hype?

[WoBBLE]

I'm really impressed with mine, no negatives at all. Decent price point, strong and fully reliable.

I had to do some substantial Dremeling on mine to keep the chain from hitting it, but I love the dumb little thing.

[weedbix]

Are you running some kinda of atypical setup mitch? Like 10t, loose chain or bulky chain?

[Bunky]

Or are you running it on the inside of the dropout instead of the outside as it's intended?

[weedbix]

Fess up now before Bunky comes back

Sorry I disappeared.  I don't think my setup is atypical--GSport ratchet 9t in a BSD Beverage frame. I run the guard on the outside of the dropout. My chain isn't super tight--I hate super tight chains, but it isn't flopping around. I ground out the front portion to give it more clearance around the chain.

The hub you run can make a difference, Joytech clones typically have the chainline 13mm inward from the inside of the dropout, Ratchet  is 11.5mm. The Antigram is probably the same given it's pretty much a 17mm version of the Ratchet

I still run a Ratchet and I run my chain loose as fuck so I might have to shape a Uniguard by the sounds of it...

[WoBBLE]

I run a small strip of duct tape on the inside of the guard for chain-muting purposes. My chain couldn't be any looser and this has worked fine for me!

Mine seems great so far. Ran it on non-drive on one bike that has a Hazard V3 with female axle (so no other guard fits) and on the drive side of my Sunday Cyclone. On the Cyclone on my S&M Randy Brown (I'm guessing dropout slots have a slight angle?) it barely rubs the chain. Can hear it when pedaling but it doesn't bind or anything. Been meaning to grind it down a hair but I don't run 4 pegs often so I haven't gotten around to it.

I also drilled the hole for the anti spin pin 1mm larger and removed it in favor of screwing the Odyssey J-Peg Light anti spin pin through the guard into the peg. Now neither of them can spin.
