Hi Side
I purchased a Nihilo case saver and roller to replace the cumbersome OEM front sprocket cover. The case saver itself is just a simple bolt on. However, the chain roller that comes with the case saver I don't quite understand. The roller comes with a few washers, a lock nut, standard nut, lock washer and a bolt that's far too long.

I called Nihilo and what I got was pretty much of a "just play with it until you figure it out" kind of thing. If anyone has successfully installed one of these please tell me how you did it.

Thanks!

Ugh searching web, due to being in same boat. Did you ever figure it out?

I figured it out after several cuss words and about a hour of frustration. You don’t need all the spacers, washers and nuts they include in the package. Just use what you need to line the chain up with the roller.

It’s one of those things that when you’re done you think we’ll that was actually easy. My dumb ass overthinks a lot of things.

I think I have done the same by not using all the hardware. Can you post a photo?

I'm out of town until the end of June or I would. Also, I forget to mention, I used a much shorter bolt than what Nihilo supplied.

Just got one myself. Is the roller necessary?
