Aight man thanx
He got two opinions, and it's not exactly a life altering decision - what, do you think he needs a consensus from the rest of the board before investing the $35?stinkyboy said:You were only in need of one opinion?
Actually, the two opinions would be the general recommendation of the rest of the board anyway... but you knew that
I think he's saying that my opinion doesn't count.binary visions said:He got two opinions, and it's not exactly a life altering decision - what, do you think he needs a consensus from the rest of the board before investing the $35?

does e13 make a small bash ring... like 32-34 tooth, i was going to get one to replace my raceface ring, but i dont want a frikkin huge one.
The 36t is the smallest one they make, and it is very compact. I've never had any kind of clearance issue.dirtjumpP.1 said:
You're just bitter that E.13 is gonna sell another bashguardstinkyboy said:
One thing about the E13s is that they are bigger than other rings of a similar 'rating' by ring size (36t, whatever).
This is kind of necessary, as the ring will mash and deform under huge impacts, unlike a metal one which will just bend and need to be replaced. So there has to be some material there; if it was exactly the same size as the chainring, it might leave your chainring unprotected after (or during!) a big hit. With the E13, all you might have to do is file down a bulge where the composite has deformed.
Love mine, use E13 36t bashrings on all my bikes. Wouldn't use anything else...just don't be suprised that it's a little bigger than your chainring or your old metal bashguard.
I think the exact dimensions are on the e13 website if you need them.
