Thanks for the awesome tunes and gummy bears at stage 4!! Paired with the margarita station at the bottom, the vibes were high for sure

Review: 5 Anti-Kickback / Chainslap Devices Ridden & Rated
@andeh23: oooohhhh the stfu under the seat stay is clever, i might need to try that option. I like the affordability aspect of that. Plus introducing an idler could provide some drag as well as needing to size a new chain

Review: 5 Anti-Kickback / Chainslap Devices Ridden & Rated
@cdere: Ahh interesting. I have had good success managing chain slap with the xt mech on a past bike. Glad its working well for you. I have sram transmission x0 on this one. I dont have a ton of general chain slap over bumps but mainly on larger hits i get a slap on the chain ring i believe. Will let you know what my results are with the mrp chain guide

Review: 5 Anti-Kickback / Chainslap Devices Ridden & Rated
Yea im curious about this as well. I have a new 2025 stumpjumper evo s5 that experiences quite a bit of chain slap on the front chain ring. My curiosity and unhealthy obsession of silencing chain slap got the best of me and I ordered the mrp mxg sl chain guide as well as an ochain. Still not sure if i want to run them together or return one but Im hoping one or both will solve the problem

Aug 12, 2025Commencal Meta SX v4
$2200 USDCommencal Meta SX mullet setup with 170mm front and 160mm rear. Love this bike and have spent quite a bit of time maintaining, upgrading, and pursuing the dream of making a bike a quiet as possible when flying down trails. Selling because I can get a pro deal on a new bike otherwise I would continue to ride this bike.
If you are looking for a bike to blast downhill and compete in enduros, this is the bike for you. It's an absolute tank that loves to eat chundery trails but is plenty lively to still hit all the jump trails on galby.
The Meg Neg upgrade on this bike makes the small bump sensitivity amazing while still give you a ton of support when pushing into turns and popping for jumps.
This bike does have a fair amount of cosmetic blemishes but mechanically it is perfectly sound and rides better than when i first bought it due to the number of upgrades and tweaks I have made.
