OneUp's Bash Guide
OneUp says that most chain guides are more expensive than they should be and that their Bash Guide just as light and effective as anything else on the market. I'm inclined to believe them given that the Bash Guide weighs just 102 grams (claimed, with 34 - 36 bash), costs $79 USD, and has been used by Yeti's Richie Rude while winning the fist two Enduro World Series races of 2016.

Just like OneUp's previous offerings, the Bash Guide's upper slider is adjusted laterally by installing or removing thin shims, with the idea being that this is way easier than spacing the entire chain guide out from the frame. A single aluminum bolt is loosened to adjust the slider's height, and numbers on the upper element should make it pretty easy to figure out how high to run it for any size chainring.
OneUp's Low Direct Mount Guide
The Low Direct Mount Guide is intended for those riders who don't need the added protection that comes with a bash guard but could use some increased security. At just 20 grams and costing $32 USD, this could be a lot of riders, from cross-country bandits to minimalist enduro racers.
The slider is adjusted laterally by installing or removing shims, just like with the Bash Guide that's shown above, and it ships with both black and green colored sliders, as well as three different aluminum mounting plates that you change out to adjust the sliders height to work with 28 - 32, 32 - 34 and 36 tooth chain rings.

So f*ck you trail bike owners!!! Yeah you heard us!!!
Around 25EUR.
I used a $30 one for the cut alu (discount), an $8 replacement roller and a bolt and plastic tube to replace the top slider
Light, cheap and effective..titanium hardware too :p
$80 seems a fair price.
