I need to fit a chainguide for several reasons to my epic world cup. Im using both NW and normal chainrings. The chain drops on the road with the normal rings.

Any of you guys have experience with using a chain guide on the WC epic? My ethirteen XCX won't fit because the seat tube is square profiled.

Would any guide fit onto the main pivot bolt?

I had a problem with my 1x setup and it turns out that some of the teeth were worn out on the inside. Have you checked?

Is it a SRAM or Shimano 1X?

Shimano 1x10

I did tighten my cluth a bit and switched the normal ring to a nw one, looks like it solved the issue, but i like the idea of a chainguide for safety during races. I guess there are no chainguide that will fit the epic wc

What about having something machined? It could then be fitted with a hoseclamp which would have a good fit around the oddly shaped tube?

I know quite a few people that had problems with the 1x Shimano but the woolftooth fixed the problem and it hasn't come back.
