Gone are his band days, skating vert, racing downhill, today he is a family man, two kids and a good job as an engineer. Come the weekend he gets the pass out and hits the trails. Who better then to review this Gamut Chain Device than someone who is actually going to buy one?

Review inside,

While not the first or only people to fabricate a chain retention device, MRP is arguably the first to do it properly. When the System 1 was first produced in 1996 it set a precedent for chain guides. When a lot of other people were installing spring loaded derailleur tensioners or chain stay mounted rollers, MRP began to produce the simplest solution to what turned out to be a not so simple problem. As time passed, bike designs evolved, and so did the rider's skill. Their line of guides also expanded to include the System 2, the many options of the System 3, and the latest design, the MRP G2.

I've spent the last few months trying to do my worst to the G2. Want to know how it worked?

GRAND JUNCTION, CO -- MRP, the long time pioneer in chain guide design has raised the bar for 2008 with the planned October release of the patented G2 chain guide system. The G2 will be the first model to go into production utilizing MRP’s patented integrated chainguide/bash guard technology.

After a one year hiatus to make way for the construction efforts of new condo facilities, Northstar at Tahoe has reopened the mountain to mountain bikes and reinstated its summer race series. Not only has Northstar brought back mtb, they have made some major upgrades which include:
• Five new trail segments
• Two full new trails
• Increased lift access with the addition of the Tahoe Zephyr Express
• Skills development areas, allowing those who want to get started with log and ladder rides to learn in less intimidating fashion as the features are much closer to the ground
• Saturday hours extended to 5:00 p.m.

This has got to be the easiest chainguide systems I've ever set up. It took me about twenty five minutes to install. If you are used to E-Thirteen Chainguides you shouldn't have any problems! Really simple system and extremely light, even with the 36 tooth E-Thirteen chainring. The chainring itself only weighs 37.26 grams. That’s lighter than a CD.

If you are like me, your bike has come stock with a front derailleur, although you can’t remember the last time you shifted into the small ring on your crank set. However that darn front derailleur causes nothing but inconvenience and worry that it may put you in the wrong gear at the worst time. This is where I was last week my chain skipped on the front chain ring while I was preparing to do a wheelie drop at a local bike park, needless to say I ended up face first on the ground, at that point I knew that my front derailleur and myself were not compatible. So it was time for me to get a chain guide.

After a year of collecting rider feedback and testing prototypes, Gamut
USA has released its latest chainguide, the P30.
