I have been using one on my Rune for the past month, working great so far no dropping of my chain anymore and I don't really hear it so I forget it is even there. Super easy to put on as well.

It works,
I've had mine on for a few rides now, you don't notice it at all. My Remedy would frequently drop the chain if I was using the small ring. No drops since I put it on.

Stinger does the same thing for half the price. I do like these channel guides though.
I'm with Clark on this, I think Shadow+ is the solution.

I think you could argue either way...

I don't like the drag (perception of drag?) from a chain device and I don't like the dirty-cable-feel of up-shifts with Shadow Plus.

For now I'm sticking with a standard XTR derailleur in the high-tension setting.

-

These guides are very clean looking, and they will fit on lots of "XC-AM" frames (Giant, Intense Carbine, new Specialized) that a Stinger won't work with.

yeah, sure.. stinger is half the price but if your frame runs bb30.. you can't use any of those chain guides. Solution? this guide.

You know that you can adjust the feel of the XTR S+ to your liking right? When it is new it feels pretty mucky but it loosens up considerably with some use and is still very effective.

I run mine a bit soft on my Tallboy because the chain doesn't clank around much on a short travel XC bike and I run it pretty firm on my SB66 because I ride that bike much harder.

One thing that the S+ derailleur does better than any sort of guide is prevent chainsuck. Chainsuck doesn't happen all that often but it is inevitable with our gritty winter rides. The S+ can save a carbon frame from some serious damage.
