Sorry Dog Welder, I spoke to soon.
DAMN those gravity checks are damn cool, BUT blackspire has been proven!

Hey guys,
Long Time Reader, First Time Posting
I saw the Evil guys at Interbike pounding on thier bashguard with a hammer and it held up. An aluminum one would have definately busted. Plus it felt a lot lighter than the aluminum one. I would definately consider it.

Curious to see that answer......... Wouldn't the teeth catch in a log? I guess maybe not more then my chainring though.........Originally posted by Random
What is the advantage of the toothed guard? Is it really helpful?
The teeth are mainly used for trials riding, so when you go to bashring you don't slide off. It's basically there for traction. If your going to buy a bashring get a threshold designs, forget all the other imitations.Originally posted by Random

Looks like your looking for somthing a little less trials specific. If your a cheap skate like me you can pick up a freestyle grind disk and fit one on your bike, depending on your chain guide it might work. They usually cover about a 45 tooth. or just get 2 or 3 larger chain rings and bolt them together and put them on the outside spider, presto. You might want to bust the teeth off with a pair of pliers then belt sand them to smooth it off.Originally posted by sirknight6

...AND allows you to run all 3 rings plus the bashguard...I used one for awhile and it held up well. Toshi from this board is using it now.Originally posted by Shibby
if you're "nice" to bashguards (is there such a thing?), and slightly concerned about weight, or just don't want a big thick thing hangin out there (not usually a concern, but hey, it happens), have a look at QBP's Engagement Ring Tooth Fairy. Pretty thin Alu, but it does have some teeth, and it does hold up
good for the kind of riding where you occasionally come across an obstacle, and you don't want your chainring to eat it. not good for bunnyhopping 3 foot ledges at 25mph.
basically:
-looks good
-not too heavy
-has teeth
-serves its purpose
-is thin, flexy, bendable (but on the other hand, you can bend it back)
-cheap

So I am. I haven't mounted up the cranks on a frame yet, but they, and the bashring, look great sitting in my dorm room. Other guards I have used in the past: Kooka (didn't have any problems with it, heavy) and a trials-specific job made by Robin Coope. http://www.physics.ubc.ca/~rcoope/Originally posted by Bulldog

Yep, DMR,Blackspire,Truvativ.....i think most companyies will make 4 arm bashguards.Originally posted by nightgaunt
Hey guys,
Does anyone make a bashguard for a 4-arm LX crank? Or is it even worth it!?!?!
THANKS!
