Chain Guide

[Giff]

Has anyone fitted a Chain Guide to a Whyte e160 rs......or any recomendations?

I have a 180 and was wondering the same thing. I managed to badly score the frame at the bottom of motor area and would like to fit a bash guard also if thats possible, so far google has failed to produce any solutions for me.

Rickguardz do a carbon bash guard. I don't think there is enough room on the Whyte for a chain guide. The spec on the Whyte website says (I think) that bikes have a chain guide under one heading but under the chain guide heading (ISCG) it is blank.

Thanks Wilko58 i have contacted Whyte who said they think one should fit but haven’t tried it. I have one in order from Nukeproof so will post if it fits.....or not?

Cheers

Which one did you order out of interest?

From Wiggle it's the Nukeproof here: Nukeproof Chain Guide ISCG 05 Top Guide

Update on chainguide....it doesn't fit. It will rotate to line up the bolt holes but there isn't enough clearance for the guide.

Cheers mate, shame it doesn't fit.

Update on chainguide.

Have you seen this post on Facebook, shows a chain guide fitted.

@Giff The E13 guide I mentioned (in your other thread) would probably be the same as it looks very similar in shape.

For your bike I thing the bolt holes need to be longer so you can rotate it further.

EDIT: just noticed your original link is not a Bosch Gen4 fit but ISCG 05....Maybe the E13 will fit?

Have you seen this post on Facebook, shows a chain guide fitted.

Have you another link to the Facebook picture or a screenshot, it says this one isn't available.

What motor are you trying to fit the chainguide to?
Bosch gen 4?
you need an E spec guide.
it'll be a different bolt circle to ISCG05

There was another post following that one which said they'd bought the last one but if it is ISCG5 it should fit?

The one I posted from FB is on a Whyte e-bike, not sure which model but looks like Gen4

The OP has just added "Two bolts only, the only tricky thing is placing the washers - need 3 or 4 to centre over the chain. I used grease to stick them together ??"

i don't have Facebook.

Nukeproof don't make Ebike chain guides

 

[MrPeaski]

@Gary The OP has had a couple of suggestions for his bike which is a Bosch Gen4.
The issue he has is that Wyhte have adjusted the angle of the motor in the frame (for ground clearance?) so the suggested gen 4 pattern chainguides don't have quite enough adjustment.

Nukeproof don't make Ebike chain guides

The FB post is in this thread above. You've got two posts crossed, the Nukeproof doesn't fit as the OP found out but the one on FB is a foreign cheap ISCG5 one and apparently does fit.

 

[Gary]

Ah. Thanks guys.

 

[Rahr85]

following up on this thread i came across this.

may 2021 you say... best get ready for it.

 

[Giff]

...it says not suitable for Bosch eBike?

...it says not suitable for Bosch eBike?

Keep reading - a new version is out in May to fit the Bosch bikes.

The E13 one works, I have one fitted, maybe not perfect position but have never dropped a chain

It definitely does fit as I have one on my rail
