Congratulations, you have just acquired the HOPE TECHNOLOGY 1x chainguide proudly designed, made and tested in our Barnoldswick factory in the
United Kingdom.
Please note that this chainguide has been designed and is optimised to be used in association with our Integrated Bash Ring (IBR) chainrings. In most
cases it can also be used on a normal chainring plus bash ring setup . For the chain, the bash ring acts as an outer guide and the chainguide as inner
guide, they have to work together.
