Anyone know the '04 XTR bolt pattern, cause it's not 4-104. And does anyone make a bashguard for it?

What are you up to now Terry?

Uh...nuthin...

Did it ever rain out your way last night?

Looks like 145mm.

I'm sure Warhawk could make a bashguard for it.

145 WTF!

The Warhawk website is down for the time being. Mabye the Evil guys are working on something?

Oops. Guess I should have zoomed in on that .pdf. Looks like 145 at normal magnification.

i dont think shimano intended the xtr cranks to be used on the same bike that would need a bashguard

that is correct, shimano has stated that these "new" XTR cranks are not for freeriding or downhill, they are not like the "old" XTRs that were pretty well suited for the abuse.

Sorry for bringing this old bitch up from the dead but I'm dying to run the 960 XTR cranks on my bullit, and the only way I'll do that is if I find someone that makes a decent looking bashguard and chainrin suited for our riding.

Price point sells a universald bashguard, but its ugly as hell...i'm thinking of having somone cnc it for me out of lexan.

I think Justsomeguy made one or had one made, do a search and you should find it.

Or just run XT and skip the hassles of needing a custom guard and spending ridiculous amounts on chainrings.

There is a guy named bruzed on bikemojo that makes them. Either sign up and tell him I sent you, or I will try to get an email. Russell is super cool and would likely hook you up.

XTR's are sexier...

I didn't get bruzed's email, but I just read that Charles at Hammerhead Bikes in Austin has them. Send an email to beth@hammerheadbikes.com and ask her about them.
