MRP D-Mount 1x User manual

IMPORTANT CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: RIDING A BIKE IS DANGEROUS. NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINING OR
INSPECTING YOUR BIKE AND ITS COMPONENTS IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IT IS
ALSO DANGEROUS TO NOT READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. DO NOT PERFORM ANY MODIFICATIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE NOT OUTLINED IN THIS
MANUAL.
2. INSPECT YOUR CHAIN GUIDE BEFORE EVERY RIDE. INSPECT AREAS FOR ANY SIGNS OF
EXCESSIVE RUBBING, BENDING, CRACKING OR OTHER DAMAGE. IF YOU NOTICE ANYTHING
ABNORMAL, DO NOT RIDE IT. RETURN IT TO YOUR DEALER OR CONTACT MRP FOR A COMPLETE
INSPECTION AND NECESSARY REPAIR.
3. MRP RECOMMENDS THAT YOU WEAR PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT EVERY TIME YOU RIDE,
INCLUDING APPROVED BICYCLE HELMET. NEVER RIDE AT NIGHT WITHOUT LIGHTS.
4. ALWAYS USE GENUINE MRP PARTS. USE OF AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT PARTS AND
UPGRADES VOIDS THE WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE STRUCTURAL FAILURE.
MRP HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU HAVE YOUR NEW GUIDE INSTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL
MECHANIC AT YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL BIKE SHOP. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT HOW TO
INSTALL YOUR GUIDE, TAKE IT TO A BIKE SHOP. YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID.
COMPATIBILITY
The D-Mount 1x guide is
compatible with most single-
ring specific and three-ring
cranks (with outer and inner ring
removed) and can accommodate
a 49-51mm chainline on standard
mountain bikes and 62.5-64.5mm
chainline on most “fat” bikes.
Used in a single-ring application,
two-ring “double” cranks may
produce a wide chainline
incompatible with the D-Mount
1x. There are several “offset”
chainrings on the market that can
fix this incompatibility.
The D-Mount 1x guide includes
four 1mm spacers that can be
installed on the mounting bolt and
pivot boss between the mounting
plate and guide arm.

Install the crankset and chain. Close the upper
guide and reinstall the upper guide bolt. Tighten
the upper guide bolt to 1.2-1.3 Nm. The backplate
features laser etching to assist in the vertical
positioning of the guide. There should be roughly
3mm of space between the chain and the ceiling of
the upper guide.
Unthread the upper guide bolt from the captive
slider nut, pull it halfway through the upper guide,
and swing the upper guide open.
Check that all fasteners have been appropriately
tightened and that there is no unwanted rubbing
or contact anywhere in the assembly. Check
the functionality of the of the guide in a safe
environment.
Check that the alignment of the guide is correct. The
chain should be centered in the upper guide in the
middle range of the cassette. There should be little
or no contact between the chain and upper guide
while in the smallest or largest cogs of the cassette.
Refine this spacing using the included 1mm spacers
if necessary.*
*This will require reversal of the installation steps
thus far and restarting at step one.

Bring the mounting plate and guide arm together,
insert the mounting bolt through the kidney shaped
track on the upper portion of the guide arm. The
