    New MRP AMg

    Just wondering if anyone is using this new guide from MRP in conjunction with a 1x10 set up and a clutch rear derailleur? If yes any thoughts?

    Thanks

    im using the AM guide on my 12' stumpy evo expert carbon w/ XO type 2 med. cage.....super quite thru rough!!!!! only issue for me is I cant seem to get chain line perfect so chain doesnt rub on the bottom skid plate in the top 2 gears of rear cass... tends not to be a prob when climbing rough hills cuz the susp. is saggin enough that the chain doesnt sit on the beveled part of the skid plate....all other cogs down from that...its silent as can be

    ^^ I rub a very very little bit on the upper guide with my 2 smallest gears that I could never adjust it out but I never notice it

    OK been for the first couple of rides with the MRP AMG and it really performs well
    Its light, quiet and just gets on with the job
    Felt great combined with the clutch mech on my local rocky DH.
    I have a tiny amount of rub in the lowest gear but does not hinder pedalling
    Looks the business in white too

    How do I paste a photo on here?

    Using two AMG setups, both with SRAM clutch rear mechs.

    Well, one is a Micro guide with the back roller part of the lower guide bit cut off, in effect making it an AMG.

    Works very well, is quiet, and I've had no issues with chain drop. I'd imagine the soon to come XX1 clone rings from some aftermarket companies will make things even better.

    I'm probably going for pretty much the same setup (32t with 11-36t and Zee mech), so please do report back. Well, I'll be using an old G2 micro with the lower roller removed and some of the backplate filed off - looks like this is essentially what the AMG is.

    EDIT: looks like I stopped scrolling ad the ad-break! Good to hear things work well and that my plan for a modified Micro will work.
