....for my DB Alpine.
running a two ring set-up up front (22/36 SLX double) and have experienced a bit of chain throw (is that a term? roughly translated from german...) on rough bits of trail or by tricksen (german for doing tricks).
don't want a mega heavy DH thingy, just something to keep the chain in check.
pics would be useful.
thanks.

BBG bashguard, light and cheap and will do exactly what you want.
thanks GW, but i need a chain guard, not a bash guard. i've got a bash guard already on there....
a chainguard? for a derailleur geared set up? don't think I've ever seen such a thing on an adult MTB that is ridden off road.
no?
this sort of thing....

You mean a chain guide? E13 DRS?
fanks coogan.... yeah, i probably mean chain GUIDE and that DRS thing looks like the sort of thing i want/need.
shame CRC doesn't have it in clear for 36t set up.
any other options?
Blackspire stinger, or something from superstar
Or even better, go for a 1x9 set up
no... i like to ride up and down mountains. i need two rings up front.
I'm very happy with the Stinger. I've been trying it out for a couple of months now on the same slx double and bash as you. (on a Meta 5.5 in XL)
It's sorted the problem I was previously having of me dropping the chain as soon as things turned fast and rocky.
I haven't noticed any additional resistance in the drivetrain, so I'm happy to stick with it.
Stinger + bashring is a decent cheap and cheerful set up. Roller is a bit cack though (only one bearing), and the backplate bends a bit easily if you are in the habit of ****ting it on things.
DRS is better made and works very well(but £££ compared to a stinger)- there's a cheap version available with a steel back plate too.
Gamut do one too.
