I think a bash guard would be a good idea, I previously had a OneUp combined bash and upper guide, but it broke the carbon ISCG tab on my carbon frame so I took it off (and had the frame repaired).
Which was, looking back on it probably user error for over tightening the upper guide, but I’d have preferred it if a little thought had gone into making that difficult to impossible to do - a much smaller bolt for e.g.
Anyway! I guess what I’m wondering is whether a lower guide is good for peace of mind, or would simply add friction when going up hill/along the flat, and therefore be more annoying than restful, if that makes sense.
