IS THAT THE ONLY COMPANY THAT MAKES A CHAIN GUIDE BECAUSE TM ONLY HAS A GUIDE FOR THE FRONT <SWINGER PIVOT SIDE> AND NOT A REAR LOWER GUIDE <AXLE SPROCKET SIDE>. OR AM I JUST BLIND??? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I dont run a guide on my R, the only way your gonna throw a chain is if it is really loose, Btw that is a slider on the skid not a guide it has no real way to keep the chain on.

i don't get it, how can people say there is no need for the rea skid plate, i mean you'd be hitting your chain and sprocket, risking breaking them, or your bending your rotor if you hit the ground. how can you 'not have a need for them'?

Well if you ride MX you have no real need for it, not usually big rocks,trees and objects in the middle of a Mx track.

when ridng in sand you should be lubing and replacing your chain reguarly anyway there will be alittle more wear but if upkeep is done it shouldnt be that bad except for the seals on the chain which will be getting sand in them anyway

THANKS FOR THE HELP, IF I HAD A DIGITAL CAMERA I WOULD POST PICKS OF THE CHAIN GUIDE I MADE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE HOLDING UP VERY WELL TO MY ABUSE.
