Hey
Has anyone fitted a System 1 MRP chain device to a hardtail
with standard (lower) chainstays. The chainline is a bit
screwed what with the back plate hitting the chainstay. Any
ideas other than getting a system 2, as the MRP website says
you can get a system 1 to work with lower chainstays fine.

Check to see if your bottom bracket is asymmetrical... i.e.,
the spindle may be longer one one end to allow for the inner
plate. Reverse it if this is so.
My MRP-equipped bike has ass chainline, too. The
chainline is straight on gears 7 and 8 out of 9. I had to
grind down the inner plate a LOT in order to stop it from
hitting the stays.
