  1. Start by installing the correct size bash guard for your chainring size The smallest guard fits 28-30t chain rings
    • Start by installing the correct size bash guard for your chainring size

    • The smallest guard fits 28-30t chain rings

    • The middle guard fits 32-34t chain rings

    • The biggest guard fits 36-38t chain rings

    • Tighten the fixing screws to 0.9N*m using a T25 Torx wrench

  2. Start by opening upper slider Open the metal clip on the upper slider Flip the clip open
    • Start by opening upper slider

    • Open the metal clip on the upper slider

    • Flip the clip open

    • Release the latch and rotate the upper slider open

  3. Loosen the lower slider bolt using a T25 Torx wrench Pull the bolt out slightly and rotate the lower slider open
    • Loosen the lower slider bolt using a T25 Torx wrench

    • Pull the bolt out slightly and rotate the lower slider open

  4. Remove cranks from the bike
    • Remove cranks from the bike

    • Install the guide onto your frame or ISCG adapter (if one is needed) using the supplied T25 screws

    • It is recommended to use the longest screws possible to provide the strongest connection to the frame - two lengths are provided

    • Lightly tighten the screws until the backplate is snug against the frame

  5. Slide the cranks back into the BB and re-install per manufacturer’s recommendations Sight down the front of the guide to check if the guide is centered over the chain ring Sight down the front of the guide to check if the guide is centered over the chain ring
    • Slide the cranks back into the BB and re-install per manufacturer’s recommendations

    • Sight down the front of the guide to check if the guide is centered over the chain ring

  6. If needed, use the provided ISCG05 C-spacers or washers to move the guide out from the frame until it is centered over the guide It may be necessary to remove the cranks to adjust the guide. However, in many cases it is possible to reach a T25 torx wrench through the chain ring to tighten and loosen the ISCG mounting screws. If using the C-spacers, removing the middle screw will make adjustments easier, just remember to replace it once you are satisfied with the guide placement!

  7. When the guide is centered over the chain ring, rotate the guide such that the upper slider fixing bolt is in the 12 o’clock position
    • When the guide is centered over the chain ring, rotate the guide such that the upper slider fixing bolt is in the 12 o’clock position

    • Tighten the ISCG mounting screws to 6N*m using a torque wrench

  8. It may be necessary to adjust the lower armature to provide additional clearance for the lower slider on some bikes
    • It may be necessary to adjust the lower armature to provide additional clearance for the lower slider on some bikes

    • Remove the two lower armature screws and relocate the lower armature as necessary

    • Tighten the two lower armature screws to 6N*m with a T25 Torx wrench

  9. Install the chain onto the chain ring Close the upper slider and clip the latch closed
    • Install the chain onto the chain ring

    • Close the upper slider and clip the latch closed

  10. Thread the chain over the lower roller Rotate the lower slider closed Position the lower slider such that the arrow is in line with the bottom of the chain and tighten the screw to 0.9N*m
    • Thread the chain over the lower roller

    • Rotate the lower slider closed

    • Position the lower slider such that the arrow is in line with the bottom of the chain and tighten the screw to 0.9N*m

    • As a final step, cycle the suspension thru the full amount of it's travel to ensure that the upper slider clears the chainstays. Most newer model trail/enduro bikes and some DH bikes will require the compact upper slider found on our TRS guide to achieve chainstay clearance.
