Assuming it's 5 bolt 110bcd, Hope retainer rings go as low as 34t in that bolt pattern, they're narrow/wide, so you could do away with the front chain guide, unless you ride particularly gnarly terrain, then leave it on.

Cheers. Looks like SRAM do a 34t:

What does narrow/wide mean in this context? (sorry)

I've got a Wolf Tooth narrow wide chain ring and chain has come off quite a few times even on road, albeit mainly downhill, fast and a bit rutted.

Also can anyone advise on the easiest way to change the gearing on my Arkose Two to give a little extra help in getting up hills?
It's currently as stock with 38t at the front and 11-36 at the back.
Would a smaller chainring be the easiest change, or a new wider cassette at the back? Presume there is limitations with the rear derailleur as to what it can take at the back? I know very little about this stuff, sorry.
