Good afternoon, brothers in mind. I want to solve a cunning riddle: I live in a completely flat terrain and I want to leave one 55T in front, the fastening of the front switch band-on. Tell me which chain guard or pacifier, by the type of cross to deliver. Now the front switch is locked and plays the role of a guard, but this is not the case.
Ps This is Russia...)

If I were doing 1x road, I’d use something like the k-edge guide:

Thanks for the answer. But there are several features, 1) this is the price, $ 99 is too much, we will make it manually on the machine for that kind of money; 2) most of the guards were adapted to a maximum of 44T, and then 55T. It would be interesting to know what the factory solutions to this issue are, and how SRAM emerged from such a situation. And it's also interesting if there is a narrow wide one with that size

You'll not get a narrow wide in 55, 54 or 56 will be your best bet.

Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163611246675 you can put as high (or low) as you want.
