The boot sounds like a good idea, but I might try making a micro guard first as it will protect the
bottom pivot as well.

Has anybody else had problems with mud clogging up the front mech on a Blur since winter set in?

I fitted a top pull top swing mech and I'm wondering if bottom swing might have been a better
solution.<snip>

No, not a design flaw in a santa crud...

I fitted a top pull top swing mech and I'm wondering if bottom swing might have been a better
solution. I'm also looking at the idea of creating a small guard to protect the front mech and
lower pivot.

Anyone else had similar problems and managed to solve them? I'd be interested to hear your ideas.

Can't say I've had problems, and I've ridden in some pretty thick stuff at races. Well, no more so
than on the ol' kaitai. Just throw a grunge boot on there for really nasty days.

Yeah, I'm sure there are many fools that don't ride a SS with the same, damn, avoidable, gear
pig problem.

What ring sizes front & back do you run? It's something I've actually considered.

32t front 18t rear

I believe that's 1.77 : 1 ratio
