^^ Haven't you said in the past that guides are not necessary on 1x systems? Or was that just for on road applications?
We never used to bother on 1×6 TT bikes, and miss.ua rides her 1×8 shopping bike quite happily with no clutch/thick-thin ring/chain guide. Off road, it's probably a good plan to have one or more of the modern anti-dérailleurs.
