Hi, I'm trying to prevent chain drop on this bike. It appears to happen when in smallest cassette cog. Anyone found a good solution, such as a chain guide that fits this bike? Note - I'm running a 48tooth chainring, so that could very well be contributing to my occasional dropped chain, but I love that size chainring so I'm not replacing it ;-).
 
Your bike has a 9 speed Deore system? A clutched derailleur would do what a chain guide would do without the extra friction and noise. However, as far as I know, Shimano does not make a clutched 9 speed derailleur. But you could replace it with the Sunrace RDM900.

Is it a narrow-wide chainring?
