Does anyone run one? I have used dual ring ones and have found them great so was wondering if a triple one would be worth getting to stop the chain dropping on my hardtail.
The only one I have found is the MRP XCG, can anyone recommedn it or anything else?

The xcg is really only a bashguard and not strictly a chain device.
i use an e13 on a double set-up which is great but as faw as i'm aware there isn't really a decent device for triple set-ups
Yeah, what mathewshotbolt says above, the XCG doesn't retain the chain at all, but it does a good job of preventing you from ****ting your largest chainring if you don't quite clear an object, it also gives you a better chance of clearing it too, as the nylon guide slides over the obstacle, rather than the chainring teeth digging in.
I've seen some triple ring devices cobbled together by mates, with varying degrees of success, but not seen one designed that way.
I run the XCG and it works well at protecting the outer ring and stops the chain coming off the inside of the 3. As said, not a chain device but does a good job for the bashing.
On a slightly similar note - could a Dual specific guide also be used/adjusted so it can be used with a single
ring setup?
Sorry for the hijack!
It's a bit old skool, but I dusted down and refitted my DCD last Sunday. We did the Devils staircase, Blackwater Dam & cairan path at Kinlochleven, and despite pinballing down rock gardens I never lost the chain once(triple chainset/short cage mech on a P7), though I did loose a few chainring teeth on some of the drops!
