Who invented it? The Swiss chain guide with 8 grams
Christian Leuenberger is the man behind the component forge, which specializes in lightweight construction and presents a record-breaking lightweight CNC delicacy in the form of the Chainguard SL chain guide. The chain guide does not require a roller system and is compatible with 1x cranks and 32, 34 or 36 tooth chainrings and is clearly aimed at cross-country riders. 30 or 38 tooth chainrings may also be suitable, but to a limited extent depending on the frame. Basically, the guide fits the hardtail as well as the full suspension.
Provided that the Ceetec guide fits, the mounting standard is Low Direct Mount S2 or S3. A distance of 1.6 to 2.1 millimetres between the guide and the chain effectively - and amazingly easily - prevents the chainring from coming off. Washers are included for precise adjustment and the chain tamer is available in black or red.
Ceetec doesn't stop at the chain guide, the portfolio includes numerous other lightweight components such as carbon thru axles, seat clamps and handlebar end grips. An important part of the range is CFRP seatposts, with which Ceetec won a Design Swiss Award together with Parts-of-Passion. Athlete Urs Huber, who literally relied on a CFRP seatpost from the Frenkendorf-based parts manufacturer for his overall victory in the Transalp Challenge, also relies on Ceetec.
