Drilling Plastic

Got a new seatube mounted chain guide from Superstar Components. Of course unlike some I'm not expecting Superstar to be Kreskin and devine that I want to keep my bashguard on. So it was off to the shop for mod with a Dremel and file.


First cut off the now superflous nub where the rear nut and bolt where.



First mounting without the outer plate.




Next was to take the outer part and cut what in the pic is the upper plastic... if it was mounted the thin piece would be over the chain ring. Careful Dremel use and smoothing with the file...
And the final result is a guide that will work with my Kooka bashguard.
