Hello everyone,

I have a Norco LRT 1, with an FSA Dyna Drive Trek chainset 48/38/28t installed. As the bike is now 2 years old, the pre-installed plastic chainring recently snapped off while I switched to my high gear the other night. I am now looking to replace this for peace of mind, so I don't have an open saw blade spinning next to my leg possibly catching on my pants. I did some research and found that there are a couple options available to me:

1. Getting a chainring on top of the big ring, to protect my leg. I've only been able to find this chainring available. This will offer some protection to the sprocket itself, but increase the overall profile of the chainset, and I'm not sure if it'd be overly bulky.

2. Replacing the big ring with a heavy duty bash guard sized for the middle ring, 104bcd 38t. This will lower the profile of my chainset, protect the gear sprocket, and have less bulk. However, this is at the cost of my high gear, making higher speeds on flat roads or slight downhills less efficient.

Please let me know what you all think!
