@@trickyrickymtb5622 ok. I dont know what to do. I think then that is not need but only on hardcore riding. I am taking mine to Spain this month. I hope not to meed any chain guide there. Actually i think there is chain guides for ~15 pounfs but I want to avoid more weight and waste money. The most I ride there is to ride on high speed paths downing mountains but none like actual downhill.

The RSP guide I put on was around £25 so not massively expensive, but I have also used the cheap ones off ebay for around 7 quid, that weigh next to nothing and still perform well. For me it was a case of, I'd rather have and not need, than need and not have
