Butcher Chainguide

My Butcher is getting overhauled. I'm going 1 x 10 and need a single ring chain guide for a 32t ring. I'm leaning towards an e13 mostly because I used a DRS for many seasons and it worked pretty well. What are most Butcher owners using? My budget is around $100.

I'd like one that works well a 10 speed drivetrain. I don't want to have to fiddle too much to get a decent chain line and I also want to take advantage of the ISCG tabs.

I got a straitline silent guide, I can't comment on how it actually works since I'm still in the building phase. But it is clean and light.

I use an e.13 LS1+ for 1x10 on my Butcher. It's been flawless but not as quiet as the Straitline guide that liljoe mentioned. Minimal fiddling though. I set mine up in minutes.

Hello everyone,
I am very green to the mountain biking world and I recently purchased a 2012 Butcher DAM kit. I am interested in going with a single ring and putting a chain guide of some sort on the bike. I have been researching e*13, Blackspire and MRP mostly because the Butchers that are pictured through posts have these chain guides and Bash gaurds. I am wondering what guides will work with the crank set up i have. Also, wondering what size ring i should go with. Not a huge fan of climbing so one that would make life easier would be nice. If anyone has any info that would narrow down my search it would be greatly appreciated.
