Product Information
Full details
The Hope Shorty Chainguide is an essential upgrade for trail and enduro riders seeking to prevent chain drops on technical terrain without adding unnecessary weight. This lightweight, CNC-machined chain guide is designed for riders using ISCG-05 frame mounts, offering excellent durability and simple, tool-free adjustment. While it provides robust protection for aggressive riding, it is specifically limited to 28T to 36T chainring sizes, meaning riders with extreme high-end or low-end gearing will need to verify compatibility before purchase.

FAQs
Will this work with a 38T chainring?
No, the Hope Shorty Chainguide is rated specifically for 28T to 36T chainrings.
Do I need to remove my cranks to install this?
No, the design is specifically engineered to allow installation without removing your crankset.
What is the weight of the unit?
The Shorty is designed to be lightweight; exact weights can vary slightly by batch, but it is optimized for high-performance weight savings.
Is this compatible with ISCG-Old (ISCG-03) tabs?
No, this product is strictly designed for the ISCG-05 mounting standard.
Can I use this on an e-bike?
It depends on your e-bike frame and chainring setup. If the bike has ISCG-05 tabs and the chainring is within the 28T-36T range, it should be compatible.
Troubleshooting
Excessive noise or rubbing
Loosen the adjustment bolts and reposition the cage to ensure it is centered over the chain line without contacting the chainrings.
Guide feels loose after riding
Check that the mounting bolts are torqued correctly to your frame's ISCG tabs; apply a small amount of thread-locker if vibrations persist.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Hope Shorty, ensure your bike frame is equipped with ISCG-05 tabs. Clean the mounting area thoroughly before attaching the backplate to ensure a flush fit.
- Align the chainguide with the three ISCG-05 holes on your frame.
- Secure the guide using the provided bolts, taking care not to overtighten.
- Adjust the cage position so that it sits closely to your chainring without creating excessive drag.
- Check the bolt tension after the first few rides, as new installations can settle.
For care, periodically inspect the engineering plastic cage for wear and clean out any mud or debris that might accumulate during wet weather riding.
