slapped on an e13 ring to my saint crank (just pulled it from the box) and it seems that I'm missing something for the installation...
judging by the exploded diagram shimano wants you to mount it with the bashguard, because there's just about enough extra space on the nut/bolt for the bushing/bash guard (both of which are not with my stuff). Not sure if the small bushing comes with the bashguard or I just got shafted. All that I'm using to install the ring it the gold aluminum bolt with the black steel nut.
Anyway, the ring just sorta flops around side to side, maybe 5mm of a gap in there.
Can't find too much information on this, found these on Jenson (looks like they're for last year's crank and a bash guard): http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/CG400Z00-Shimano+Saint+Chainring+Fixing+Bolts.aspx
can show photos if needed
