Da Bomb Recoil DH Chain Guide
We all know there are some real fancy chain devices out there and many at a premium price. What if you are on the second step of the ladder? We tend to show you the latest gold plated parts, but how about the real bread and butter products? The everyday ones that will get and take a hammering.
Here is one of those exact products from our friends at Da Bomb.![photo]()

Just make sure you keep that adapter as you never know when you might need it.

That wheel's pretty well protected in there and rolls like a dime, whilst new. Only time will tell after a season of bad weather, grit and grime. It's not sealed it just floats side to side on the axle, this compensates for the moving chainline as your chain shifts sidewards up and down the rear cassette.

The only downside is that the system only comes in ISCG Old, so double check against your frame. That said some riders prefer the flexibility of using the BB mounted model. In a big crash or case onto rocks the device under pressure can swivel around offering some "give". For those of you that have snapped your ISCG tabs off, you know exactly what we're talking about, don't you?

Available in two sizes:
89152 - Black 32-38t
60831 - Black 38-42t

Retail price is £54.99
Now before some clever clogs comes on we all know Superstar do an almost identical device for more than a few pennies cheaper.

No ISCG tabs on your bike? Do not worry though as the BB mounting adapter plate comes as standard. That is worth at least a round of drinks.

Floating jockey wheel in there.

seriously theres obviously a market for budget parts that perform as well as the expensive ones, why else would E13 start selling a budget chain guide????????? cos they gonna loose out on customers if they dont
guess whats coming next?....... an MRP budget guide
how can companies justify well over £100 for what is just a piece of plate alu with plastic bits bolted to it?
Love this toy. Looks sick and works hard!
I need a new Floating jockey wheel though :S Can't seem to find one. Any help? cheers.
I've run this exact guide for the past year, albeit half of it I was injured, but during the 6 months of riding, never once went wrong, chain has never come off! I'd give this guide a 10/10, it's cheap and works and that's all you want.
EDIT: Just looking down at more comments my point is proven "With options like E.13 , Gamut , MRP , i don't see why ppl would buy this pos looking guide !" E.13, Gamut, MRP are all far more expensive
what about the e13 ls1 ht chainguide, the quality of e13 and for 10 quid less that this da bomb one
