  5. 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!

    • 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 newer TRS guide to achieve adequate chainstay clearance.
