@rumrumThanks, yeah, its supposed to be mesured from that rubber lip.

 

I was talking about a chain guide that you bolt on, I have the Acerbis one. It seemed to me that mine was keeping the chain up just sligthly, but taking of that small plastic piece that the chain slides against to measure didnt take me much time. Thanks for the reply!

in that case it may do. Have a look at the camel ADV vid about chain adjustment. you may have to do it like he did.

@rumrumThanks for the suggestion. I took of the replaceable part of the chain guide, which is only four screws, and measured it - didn’t seem to make a very big difference. After a few times I’ll get used to it and dont have to take it off when measuring

Late to this: to be sure, this tool accounts for the distance to the CENTER of the side plate, right? even though it measures to the edge of the plate. 

Thx.

Yes, that is how I designed it.

I have a 30mm jack up kit (dog bones) from bikefarmmv. I'm unsure how this relates to the chain tension?
