Hello, i have recently changed my bike from a 2x9 to a 1x9 and now i have removed the derailleur i don't fancy the chain hopping off every time it gets a bit rough. Very unsure on what guide would fit my bike, its a 2018 voodoo minustor. if someone could point me in the right direction of what guide i would need that would be great, thanks.

    Try the RSP Chain Director. It is a £14 copy of the Bionicon chain device (£33) and it works the same and lasts the same. I've used both.

    i did have a look at that but I'm more after one that would fit the BB but I'm unsure on which one would fit because they're are so many

    I have tried several types of chain guide mounted around the BB, but they all gave me problems. The dangler type suited me better than the rest.

    If you have a narrow wide, you don’t NEED a guide at all.

    I’ve been running 1x without a guide with a narrow wide for 3 years and never dropped a chain. It’s not like you’ll be riding DH or Enduro on it.
