do u have a thing for mr. dirt. from what i've heard they are crap. get a MRP
I've never had a problem with a Mr. Dirt Guide, in my experience they are way better built than a MRP. They just make more noise.
Go-Ride has some listed as on sale on their website. I am not sure if that's the 36T version or not.
I have a Mr.Dirt and it's fine. A bit noisy, a bit complex and a bit much friction, but far from crap. Good design and materials. Works really well- basically impossible to derail if it's setup right.

As for the noise, I like noises like that on my bike. From what I hear, if the rollers or whatever it is wears out or if anything else happens, the owner of the company will replace it for you. I have heard very few bad things about them.JRogers said:
they're good guides no doubt, but there are better out there. as for a sale, i think pricepoint or jenson had them on sale for cheap. again, i'm not sure if thats for the 36 tooth.
I think Go-ride has the older ones. If you get a Mr.Dirt guide, get the one with the yellow guide parts that have the little cogs in them. I loved that chainguide...wasn't all that noisy. The only true silent guide is MRP...all the others makes some kind of noise.
Yeah...I guess mine was noisy because I ran it, one could say, totally screwy. I got it on a used frame and the previous owner had a chainring that was too small in there and one of the guide rollers had fallen off so the chain was riding on metal bearings. I ran it that way for a few months and it was like I was riding a motorcycle.
