Never used one before and there are so many on the market so some advice would be appreciated. It needs to fit a 22/36 chainring set up and have a bottom bracket mount option.
Before everybody suggest 1x10 I ride in some pretty hilly places and whilst 1x9 has been ok on the lightweight hardtail and think with the added weight and travel I'll struggle with just a single chainring.
Any suggestions?
Never had any problems with the e13 DRS.
Gamut P30 dual guide or a Blackspire Stinger would do the job.
Very please with my blackspire stinger. Don't let the price put you off.
Some have rollers and others have moved away to solid guide. Do they generate more friction? Are they noisier than ones with rollers or jockey wheels?
+1 Blackspire Stinger.
Superstar components do one for even less but have never used.

Not heard any complaints about sliders at all, and any modern device (properly setup) should be nice n quiet. On the other hand, guide plates shouldn't clog up with mud like rollers do
Got both Blackspire Stingers and a superstar one on my hire bikes. Both work perfectly well. The superstar one has been on for about 2 years, the black spire ones about 10 months.
On the plus side for the Superstar one it has a little block with a couple of grub screws which tighten onto the BB shell to help stop it from moving. The Blackspire ones don't have this and have slipped a little from time to time, but not a great hassle, I just tap them back around a bit with a rubber mallet.
Blackspire stinger or the superstar version both similar.
Great thanks for the feedback. I am assuming that a bashguard is also required?

Mine came on the bike and when it was working it was great but didn't you find it was ...
1. Expensive and
2. The roller wore out really quickly?
That was my experience anyway.
Stinger roller lasts forever.
Just bought a stinger. Thanks again for the help.
