Got one of these in build currently...
Got an ISCG mounted E-13 LG with Tacho but I can't get it to mount properly without hitting the main pivot bearing cap. Anyone got anything else they have used on one of these?
Also to get the chain above the chainstay I've had to lift the back of the top guide. Doesn't look right so again any owner feedback?

Is that an original LG chain guide that has a nut at the back of the top guide? If so, then you need the LG1+ guide that has a recessed rear screw so you can mount the guide nearer to the pivot.
MRP do an equivalent guide too, but I'm afraid that's your only solution to get the chainline as far over as possible.
What size front ring you running? I never had a problem using 36T and you could run the ctre line of the top support should be btw 11 & 12 o-clock no problem. If it's a small ring you might have to MTFU and get a bigger ring!
The other alternative, if you want to keep that ring, is to put thick protection on the chainstay and accept it's going to rub in top gear.
It's a 36t, in the 11t at the rear it's sat on top of the chain stay, I that would explain the large amount of rubber strapped to some of them. I'll look at modding the guide to be a lower profile - this a low spend project.
When the bike is loaded/sagged, the chain won't hit the guide any more will it?
I built up one of those a while back, came with an own brand two piece chain guide. Ditched that, and IIRC, I used an E13 BB Mount adapter with an ISCG05 CHainguide which spaced the whole thing out from the frame
Chainline wasn't ideal but.
Sounds about right, I have a BB mounted one on the spares box and a TRS that might mod too.
@Brant yep when it's sagged it wont but it will be close enough to slap like hell I reckon, will see when it's built. Shock has no spring currently so I can't sit on it or take it off the stand.
Next question who's got an elka set up guide 🙂
