What's the experience of the other Chainglider owners here?
1 Suboptimal installation on my 5-speed with rather thick TA chainring, 1/8" chain and sprocket, chainline probably not spot-on, drivetrain components already rather worn:
- still some rubbing noise, but decreasing with use. Extra oiling made no difference, but my chain was well-oiled to start with it. I only notice the noise when I make an effort to hear it, and when there is no competing wind/traffic noise.
2 "Perfect" installation on my Raven Tour with thin stainless-steel Surly chainring, 3/32" chain and Rohloff sprocket, chainline probably spot on when delivered by Thorn and not much changed by me fiddling with the eccentric, all new drivetrain components and just factory lube on chain:
- no noticeable noise. But that goes for myself, someone who is less tolerant of background noise might notice something. And, due to starting a new job, I haven't yet had much opportunity to use my Raven Tour.
