Wolf Tooth Components GnarWolf Chainguide, Braze-on mount
This is the chainguide that I personally recommend and use on my own single-chainring (i.e. "1x") cyclocross and gravel bikes. I believe it the best engineered and most highly functional guide on the market today because of its very lightweight construction, durable made-in-the-USA design, and amazing chain retention, even in challenging conditions. The perfect match for 1x chainrings When paired with a 1x chainring (I recommend Wolf Tooth's matching Drop-Stop chainrings) it is almost impossible to drop a chain, even in rough, muddy conditions. Unlike other guides, this one actually forms a "roof" on the top of the chain for an extra measure of protection. Highlights and features Versatile mounting. Fits frames with braze-on front derailleur mounts right out of the box, and can also fit any round seat-tube frame by adding an inexpensive braze-on front derailleur clamp adapter such as those from Shimano, Santa Cruz, or many other brands (not included) Extremely easy to install.
