Hey,

I'm wondering...do ethirteen chain guides have rollers? If not, isn't the chain eventually going to wear through the plastic? Also, for MRP chainguides, are they just disliked sometimes because they have the really thin and not-so-bashable bashguard?

Yeah its a tiny one that remains unexposed to rocks, obstacles, etc. Thats why you dont see it in pictures.

yeah it's a small plastic chain ring with a bearing in the middle on the bottom and no roller up top and i must say it works amazingly

Hah, and these don't bend when hit and the bashguards that come with them can actually take a beating *Cough MRP cough cough*

Don't hate, hoolie. MRP's have more world cup championships than any oversized, clunky looking, double secret formula PLASTIC bashring.
