I'd say an E13 LG1, but what kind of riding do you do?
This should be in parts n' Stuff ;)

depending on what riding you do (presuming dh and all mountain type stuff) i would agree with an e thirteen lg1 guide possibly with the taco bash guard

cheers

chain tensioner

the simplest and cheapest way to go is to get a blackspire stinger dual ring tensioner.(you appear to have a dual front ring)recently put one on my 06 norco shore 3.it really works a treat,put it on for a weekend at thredbo downhill,never dropped a chain or missed a gear since i put it on.got mine from phantom cycles about $58.00-$60.00.comes in three different mounting sizes depending on bottom bracket mountings.mine is ISCG mount 3 bolt holes.all u have to do is remove the the right crank slip it on bolt it up and put the crank back on.and u can ajust it anytime u want withot pulling it off.(i happen to have one for sale as i bought the wrong size at first it fits a ISCG-05 bb mount 73mm bolt spacing radius,not sure what type the giant has.DMR also make one very similar but a bit dearer.its a cheaper alternative to a full dual guide system very exxy. anyway check em out for yourself on the respective websites.hope that helps KEN

For as low as $80 you can get a single ring tensioner (TBSM) and from as much as $120 you can get a Truvativ Shift Guide (dual rings) and for about $150 you can get a e.thirteen DRS (Dual ring) or SRS guide second hand, they are both highly rated chain guides. You can buy them new for $250 also.
