Title: MRP chain guide on K2 help
Post by: DJ Mindphyx on March 06, 2003, 09:06:01 am

hey people, need some help, im wondering what would be the best chain guide to put on a 99 K2 Beast, would a MRP Ultraspeed 2 fit on the bike, also does the frame have disc brake mounts on the rear, i think it does but i just wanna be sure, thanx :)

As far as the chainguide for the K2 goes it has to be a System1, the Sys 2 doesn't work on elevated chainstay bikes. That being said I would go with the World Cup series. The Ultraspeed uses to large of a ring for most DH riding, unless they bring back the Kamikazee.

Now for disc guides on the rear of your 99 beast, form what I've read and seen on the K2 site it should have the disc tabs holes, however you'll need either a Hammerhead adapter or the aftermarket K2 one (part# 5996 IS standerd disc brake adapter).

Good luck and welcome aboard.  :)

I'm riding a three ring chain guide montaramtb.com (i think) and it's great!
