But, you gain at least an inch of clearance, and it 100% protects the middle chainring, rock ledges, hardwood trees, whatever you want to go over. |

May 18, 2002 6:32 PM | | They cater to trials riders and sell the sweetest bash guards around. I have three bikes with the size guard you are talking about. Two of them are salsa trials gaurds that are toothed and one is a race face that is round/smooth. I didn't get them from webcyclery because I never heard of trials at the time. Any company that makes bash guards should sell your bolt pattern. My advice is to get a silver one because it doesn't show gouges and scrapes any where near as badly as a black one and if you aren't scraping it up you don't need one in the first place. |

May 18, 2002 7:40 PM | | for $51 including shipping. But it also covers the bigring. Now I go through singletracks without worrying about bashing the bigring.
If you don't want/need the bigring, I'd look at www.jensonusa.com and check out the RaceFace and I think it was around $34. |
