[Closed] What chainguide do you prefer for your enduro/AM bike?

34t MRP G2 SL, brilliant bit of kit for a single ring.

34t E13 LG1 Trail. Works great if you ever do any xc type rides too as you can take the lower half off (and enjoy the silence) buy undoing a couple of bolts.

I haven't got on with MRP, found the lower and upper guides to break very easily and be expensive to constantly replace....e-thirteen for me.

Running 2x10 with a bash and lower roller (mech at the top obviously)

Wasnt sure what it would be like as I've not tried this setup before. Very impressed after the first proper ride; took the bike up to Aston hill where I always used to drop the chain repeatedly on my old triple setup and didn't drop it once.

I'm running 1x10 with an e-thirteen lg1+. Was running 1x9 on my previous 2 bikes with the same model of chain device. Has always been spot on.

Stinger and bashring on mine. (22/36 with 1x9). Works a charm. Though at some point I'll switch on the 1x10, clutch mech and MRP 1X chainguide and see what happens.

Running 2x10 also, use e-13 trs+, very impressed and was a cinch to fit with the added bonus that it looks the mutts and got a free e-13 t-shirt to boot!

E 13 drs srs or lg

Depending on config.

As for ring size I lasted a year at 1x9 with a 36 but wasn't worth it so been 2x9 since on 22/36

I'm loving my 32t Straitline Silentguide - got it cheapish in CRC sale and it's been great. As the name suggests, almost completely silent and very little drag despite no moving parts. 32 tooth specific, so it's really nice and compact.
It replaced a cheapo e*thirteen one which was heavy and needed some substantial re-machining to make it work.

Straitline silent guide.

After a couple of rides, it really is silent. Never lost a chain, light, easy to set up & no moving parts to go wrong/wear out 🙂

I've always like Gamut guides. Light, easy to fit and then just run and run and run and run. Had an e.13 SRS (old model) before and it was the opposite of the Gamut, but I imagine newer ones are much improved.

Have got e*thirteen LG and LS 1s they are both great. Beautifully made, non-draggy and above all silent.

LS has a a steel backplate but is otherwise identical to the LG and a bit of a bargain imho

I had that problem too - then I noticed the lube I was using was right at the top of their "DO NO USE THIS LUBE" list.

No hassle since.

Using the Straitline Silentguide on my Piglet and Five. Can't fault them. Taken as many knocks as the breaky MRP/Gamut they replaced and still solid.

Got a Superstar Plasma - had one on my old bike too. Has worked perfectly through 2 years of hard use. Totally happy with it 🙂

Straitline Silentguide 32t version.
Simple, silent and well made.

I've had 2 Gamut guides which were ace and now running an e13 LG1+ Trail, which is equally good.

interesting replies!

Im doing aggressive enduro so I dont know if I can live without bashguard.

Lg1+ and straitline look good. I can loan Lg1+ from my dh and 36t and see if I can climb up with it.

If not, is it possible to mount 32t on shimano saint m810 cranks? I saw shimano offer only 34t maybe other brand can fit in?

in the case 32t, straitline looks good as compact guide. Also I see there is SRS+ 32t. Not many 26-32t guides yet?

Which bash/roller/ top chainguide set do you recommend?
The Piggy is ISCG05 so do i need just that or will it go with ISCG or BMX

Antoher Piglet Questiion: Forkwise. I have an 150mm Sektor rl on it, can it be damaged or frame can be damsged. I mean , i like riding it (only on the street so far though) i can put in the rubberrings to get 130mm travel, but if i want 150mm is it possible without damage to fork & frame???

Thank you!
