I need a chain guide for an aging Orange Five with a 1x set up as NW and clutch no longer seem to cut it on the Surrey Hills rootiful trails.

Ideally cheap, quiet and simple.

One up components is good so far for me. Been running it nearly a year now - there’s either just a top guide, or a top guide with a bottom bash guard to protest the chainring too. I went for the latter - I specced it on a build from the manufacturer of my bike so not sure how much they’d cost aftermarket (think it cost me £42 extra on my bike).

Orange stuck with ISCG-old for absolutely ages, are you sure it's ISCG-05?

If it is then the On One should be ideal, you don't need a lot of chain device when you've got a narrow-wide. But you might want to think about replacing the ring, if it's not holding the chain well any more?

the chainguide I linked to has a BB fitment for bikes without ISCG tabs (I used the BB bracket to fit it to my Steel HT)

Oh gawd ... does anyone know what the tabs are on 2013 Orange Five?  I have always assumed 05.
