E Thirteen are fast establishing themselves recognition amongst the mountain bike community as providers of some of the finest quality chain guides, chain tensioners and drivetrain components on the market. Just take a look at any World Cup round or World Championship race and see how many riders choose E 13 Components to keep them ahead of the pack. Each E 13 chainguide is the result of hours of meticulous design and engineering as well as extensive field testing on the race circuit in order to provide Downhillers, Trail Riders and XC racers with the same high quality, smooth-running components that the Pros use.
Standing for "Light Guide", the LG1+ Chainguide is E*13's premium chain device for riders looking for the absolute lightest option on the market. Using a lower taco-style guard to shield the chainring, the LG1+ design does away with the heavier bashguard that comes on the SRS+, and as a result gets the weight down to just 174gram for the complete unit. Although riders looking for maximum durability and rock-smacking strength will still want to use the full bashguard-style SRS guide, the LG1+ will appeal to DH racers and trail riders who want to keep their chain secure, without adding significant weight to their drivetrain.
With a lower tensioner pulley on the bottom and a cage up top for the chain to run through, the LG1 will keep your chain taut and in the right place.
From E*13:
"The LG1+ is a new chainguide system developed to meet the rigorous demands of World Cup downhill racing. The LG1+ is an extremely strong, reliable, and adjustable system with the lightest weight of any chainguide that we are aware of on the market today. Primary Uses: Winning World Cup downhill and 4X races, bike park, freeride"
With an ISCG '05 fitting, the LG1+ is compatible with all modern ISCG '05 frames, though the adapter plate included with the guide allows you to mount the LG1+ to a standard bottom bracket shell without ISCG tabs. From there, all you have to select is the correct size to work with your current chainring, and you're ready to bolt one on!
