Installing chain, ARO 129LE to KTM 450 SX-F

Does this seem correct (pictures attached), to me the lower return chain has to go around the first guide, then the second at angles that I question. The upper portion of the chain where all the tension/load is carried is a
straight run, the bottom return however just seems like it will wear out the guides. It's probably right, just want confirmation from others before I continue.

thats the way TS designed it. reports of wearing out the rub blocks.......some quickly. You can eliminate this but have to make some gearing changes.

1. you put a 15th on the bike
2. to an 18 on the kit. this allows you to run your chain with no rub blocks, and you then scoot the kit more up under the bike.
3. then see how you like that, if it gives you tooo high a first gear, swap the sprockets in the chain case to 17 to 18 bottom

several threads on this with pictures from last year

I'm running mine with 18 rear 14 front and flipped the chain case sprockets. It clears the track just barely.
