Is the DRS available for 5 bolt cranks?

Would I be better off w/ a Heim guide, or is Evil the way to go?

yes.

not enough information to answer.

Sorry.

I'm not really that worried about a bash guard, but at the same time, I rarely use the big ring. I've read good things about both guides, so I just thought I'd ask. It'd be going on a Bullit that I freeride and race DH. Seems the Evil fits my needs the best, but I couldn't find anything that said it was available for a 5 bolt.

We need a BCD too.

5 bolt 110 BCD or 5 bolt 94 BCD? 110's should be easy to find, I dunno about 94's

That's your answer right there. Buy the DRS and put, say, a 36t ring on it. That'll give you a higher top gear than your current middle ring gives you (so in those rare occasions that you'd normally use the big ring, you still have some pedalling power), and also give you the security of having a bashguard.

Unreal has them for $120. Call Ben and ask him if they have the 5/94 in stock.

Shouldn't be hard to find. I run a 94 bcd DRS with 36/22 tooth rings. Seems to work well.
