Hello Everyone,

I have a couple of questions that I asked, but didn't get answered in the way I wanted them to be answered.

1) (Haven't asked this) Can Sram X-7s be mounted onto a Kona Scrap (derailler hanger H)? I doubt hangars change over the years (I hope not) so from that I'm guessing x7s will fit well, because konarider runs them ( I think).

2) What chain guides will fit my bb? What type of bb is mine classified as? Is isis drive a feature, or a type? I wanted to try the STS or the SRS from evil, but I don't know if they will fit. http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/13308-075_EVIER4-3-Parts-53-Chains/Chain-Guides/Evil-E-Thirteen-SRS-Chainguide-w_-Bash-Ring.htm

3) My front derailler shifting sucks, when I go to the smaller ring (fine when shifting from small to big, bad when going from big to small). It stays on the top ring for like, 1-2 whole rotations, then slams itself into the smaller ring. My pedaling is very rough (due to the chain jump down issue) and it sucks. Is this my chain rings fault, my chains fault or my derailler's fault? If it is my derailler, mindbogger, can I buy the derailler off you, the deore one?

Srs doesn't care if you are e-type or not. You loose the deraileur.

Oh alright then. Basically, anything that says it requires an e type, all I have to do is loose the derailler, or are some e types bashguards more picky to the bb?
