E13 XCX all the way. I prefer 1x10 to 1x9, but it still has the same effect.


any idea how it stacks up to the MRP 1x?

I have never tried the MRP I have used both versions of the XCX since they came out. The BB mount and the tube mount, both have been great.

youve been running it with a 1x9 drive train? I'm just looking for options for my Dekerf and want a BB mounted guide so i can do away with two of my chainrings. Other guys at my shop have run the Pauls tube mount ones and have had issues so i want to avoid that....

I have never run it on a 1x9 I have used them since the first year they came out, on an XX setup. I have used them on Hardtails,as well as full suspension cross country and AM bikes. No rub when set up in any gear, and never dropped a chain. The Pauls do look good, but have heard of many issues, that is why I never tried them.

Right on, its great to hear some input on the Ethirteen as, aside from the multiple Pauls debacles, most everyone else has been running the MRPs with decent levels of success. Thanks!

Have you seen the Widget? It isn't bb mounted though, it mounts to your crank arm.
