Straightline silentguide is very quite, junked the e13 Lg1 and Blackspire stinger/bash as they are no where near quite. Don't hear the silentguide at all riding.
Don't have any ISCG mounts on mine unless i'm mistaken. I therefore assume i'd need a BB mounted system.
You can fit a BB to ISCG mount adapter Weeksy. Allows you a far bigger choice.

Thank you sir.

No picture but.....
How can you 'struggle with the aesthetics'??? Any 1x10 setup is gonna look better than a multiple chainring setup.
Mine is a single 36 tooth Middleburn Uno chain ring and cranks.
I use a Paul Components Chain Keeper BB that attaches to yer standard externall bb and looks great without anything on the set tube.
36 up front and 36 out back works great on all but steepest stuff.
Like the look of new XX1 11x1 but > £1k for a couple more ratios, I don't think I could sneak that was past the gatekeeper.
No pics either but
SLX Double and bash 170 cranks
BBG Bash
Jump Stop
E-13 G Ring 32T
11-34 cassette
Easy peasy to set up and cheap. No problems so far, but interesting to see how it gets on it the Alps but will prob swap to be larger front.

Few months later still going just a little bit dirtier 😉

How can you 'struggle with the aesthetics
Personal preference i guess. I'm not keen on the way the crank arms look incomplete unless covered by a bash-ring. So any system i go for will have to be both a chainguide and a bash integrated system.
Found a new problem this weekend with a double bashguard setup - on a super muddy ride (post floods lake district), ended up with the gap filling with enough mud that it completely filled / clogged the chainring (mud held captive by the guards). Just sat there spinning cranks with chain riding over the top of all teeth. Had to dig it out quite a few times..... Never had this problem before in 2 years of use.

Above has been ridden for rooty/hilly/sandy xc duties as well as racing, and no sign of dropped chain yet (fingers crossed). Up to a 28t on the rear, not run out of gears yet when climbing (any steeper and i'll get off and carry it!)

e13 xcx st top chain guide
hope 32t front ring
xtr shadow plus mech
now seem to have the chainguide line up a bit better (ie no catching) and its smooth as, ive not dropped the chain on anything so far, and its all been fairly fast paced, extremely rocky!
that ibis above is stunning! id ditch the lopes and just run a top guide, you dont need it with a xtr clutch mech, trust me!
Thanks Oscillate. I would ditch it, but MRP only do two guides for the Mojo the other being a G2 which also has a lower roller. Both are specific Mojo models, BB mounted and adapted to screw into the lower suspension linkage to stop the guide spinning if bashed hard. The mojo doesn't have iscg mounts.
I preferred black with the little Brian Lopes badge on it than the white G2. Agree about the XTR clutch. Was tested thoroughly at the PPDS last week!

Here's my Tracer 1+ fitted with a 34T Middleburn Uno and the top half of an E13 LG1+ - I'd fit the bottom half roller + bash but Intense didn't design the damn thing with enough clearance to get one in there properly without messing up the chain-line/crank spacing. Bl00dy yanks - you'd not believe it was a 160mm frame 🙄
It gets ridden properly and yes sometimes the chain does jump off the bottom but put in a pedal stroke and that "problem" goes away. I will get a clutch mech at some point though as it's a little distracting.
Don't quite get the aesthetics thing either as I reckon bikes looks far better with the single ring up front - each to their own I suppose.

ahhh gotcha! fair enought then, to be honest, i bet you could near enough get away with a chainguide full stop with the clutch mech, i wont risk not having a top guide on mine as its only 75grams, but im pretty sure the chain would stay on just with the clutch

38/28 bottom gear?
Sod that!
found a better pic of the jumpstop

Does not look anything like my jumpstop?
its the B-twin version rather than the N-gear....

Interesting. So it can't be adjusted then?

thats a deda dog fang. ngear jump stop is a different beast; ie it's adjustable to make it suitable for a middle ring.

Can also get black guides for the straightline, from CRC so you can ditch the green ones if needed. Awesome guide, actually one of the best parts I've fitted. Silent, no chain slop/slap a perfect part with perfect manufacoring. Really impressed.

You'll not like this, then! 98/99 LX with weirdo inetgral big ring and spider. knackered big ring hacksawed off and made [s]good[/s] passable, Salsa 48T, Paul chainkeeper. Chain's not come off on rocky, steppy, rattly welsh descents. Speed and rattliness limited by rigid forks and lowish drops, though.

That looks nice MLucas 🙂
ive had a little thought guys and ive decided on a 32t renthal ring with a e13 xcx guide.
was wondering what the chain slap and retention is like with just a top mount?
i had ordered the lg1 tr but it was out of stock, if the xcx does the job ill save a few quid as well.
is a clutch mech maybe prefered with just a top mount, bike is a fs as well?
would appreciate some input, thanks.
I'm running a Renthal ring with E13 xcx along with a XTR clutch mech and I've not even been anywhere close to dropping a chain or had any problems whatsoever. I don't know what it would be like with a normal rear mech though.

Not 100% convinced on blue... but like the single ring setup 🙂
Poor quality phone photo, but 11-34 cassette, 34T Blackspire chainring, RaceFace Ride AM cranks and bashguard, Superstar Plasma chain device.

Not mine, of course (Nino Schurter's) looks like you really don't need a chain guide with it, though. (XX1)

setup fail!
Is that mean to be upside down?
I've fixed it now 🙂
Did some googling and have adjusted accordingly 🙂
Interesting they're doing a guide like that now, basically exactly how I did mine, but less bodged!
