Truvativ Boxguide or Identiti CDR?

Silver Bullet · May 2007

i'm thinking of getting one or the other, but not sure which would be best
i've heard a lot of good things about the truvativ, but my friend has the identiti, and hasnt had any problems with it, so thought i might get that as it is slightly cheaper
however, it is also very noisy - is this the same with the truvativ?

cheers

Boxguide is silent.

Buy the Boxguide, can be bought for about œ25-30 from various eBay shops.

i recently got the old version of the boxguide namely the hussefelt 2, same design from what i can see, works very well indeed so far, aint dropped the chain once, fairly quiet, feels solid enough and very adjustable so no real complaints. Especially since i only paid 17.50 for it off a dude on sdh and that was posted. Bonza

None, you just have to remove a bit of the upper plate as shown in the picy above, which is very easy to do, you just unscrew it. I ran 1 with a bash ring for arond 6 months, never lost a chain.

Sorry to resurrect it but...

If you set it up exactly correct, you should have no problems with a bash.

However if the plastic gets worn at all the chain starts to skip out. I've had it jump completely out of the guide and twist the chainlink sideways.

Oh and I got your email but couldn't email back. It isn't in Oxfordshire.

Although i don't have one, several mates do. The bogurad is silent, and if you want, i have seen a guy fit a bash guard and then mark it on the outer box of the guard, take it all of and trim back the boxguard, giving you the best of both worlds

sounds good, although i can't say i understand exactly

@ TSawyer, there's a little village called wigginton somewhere in my direction, i'm pretty sure its oxfordshire, so i thought i might as well ask and see
