What's going on with the chain between the chain ring and the lower derailer? Looks like a guide to reorient the chain, but why?
Looks like one of these

Yep, basically that. I have a technical and aggressive riding style, even with this setup. 🤪
Never heard of that before, but that's cool. Thanks!
I guess there's a minor benefit for increasing the contact point between chain and chainring, reducing stress on chainring and likehood of the chain falling off. I guess you can also run a longer chain, so that it's easier to repair on the way without carrying extra links with you
