(57) Abstract:
A chain guide has an elastic member and a wear face. The wear face
has the elastic member captured therein. The wear face has an inside
surface and an outside surface. The first surface is disposed to contact
a chain. The other surface is in contact with the elastic member.
Through the compliance of the wear face and the elastic member, the
chain guide absorbs some degree of impacts and transverse vibrations,
both of which can affect chain control, guide wear, and bracket
fatigue.
