I'm using a SRAM Force CX1 RD with a clutch, so shouldn't need a chain guide. But should I use one anyway?
I believe you'll want a narrow-wide chainring with no pins/ramps to facilitate shifting, otherwise you could/will have a derailment in the front. They're not that expensive. Sram x-sync. People may say get chain retention in the front for 'cross as well.
