Well spotted Bryan. I wish they'd make a silent top guide too. I recently changed my bottom gamut roller to a blackspire one and its WAY quieter. Just trying to figure out how to shut the top one up. It's pretty much the only noise my bike makes and it drives me nuts! Hmm perhaps I should spend less time listening and more time riding….

Sustainable will be around forever.

How'd you go about that? I have a spare Blackspire roller.

I used a MRP roller on my shiftable guide, and it works great.

I just used a couple of shims and washers from my Hope spares and ran the tapered bolt through the hole in the guide.

Not a single issue, and no noise!
