My Craftworks has a Race Face Prodigy DH crankset with 22t / 32t / bash setup. The last ride, I dropped the chain twice, and am wondering if I should get a chain guide of some sort. The bike is setup as a burly trailbike, not for DH. Are there guides available besides the full-on DH stuff, and should I consider getting one? :confused:

the evil DRS work really good! it is not too heavy and if can take any dh abuse you can throw at it! it works really well when you run a 36t 22t combo for the chain rings. there is enough of a range for fling down a fire road and getting back up to the top again.

true - i have the e13 dual setup;
however, in the small ring, i have to stop & put it on the correct "roller", or it will make the most annoying sound. Is there a work around for this (i searched already & didn't find anything helpful).

I would 2nd the DRS. I talked to e13 about getting a DRS or an SRS for a bike that I wanted to be as versitile as possible- a do it all hard tail that could also race 4x. DRS was the resounding answer.
