Anyone know of a good bashguard I can put on my crankset, without losing my big ring?

Big ring is a 42T.

depending on what you get, you'll need some longer chainring bolts and bolt spacers to space it out far enough to be able to use said big ring. obviously you'll also be decreasing your large ring clearance over obstacles, which may or may not be an issue where and how you ride.

Thanks man, I'll take a look around

Here is the 4 bolt like you need, for a much lower price. I have one, and I love it. The only problem is that the the receiving bolt(I guess the backing bolt) didnt fit the longer bolts that came with the guard. I got the correct bolts for like 2 bucks at my LBS. But as long as you dont have an ISO Flow crankset, you should be fine.

EDIT: Just looked closer at your pic, looks like you have an ISO Flow, but thats an easy fix.

Hah, yeah it's an ISOflow

Yeah, but your LBS should have the right bolts. the ones on the ISOflow are slightly larger than most, but if you get standard size (4mm?) the adapter bolts work fine.

Yeah! I just got my bike weighed (and 15 or so PSI more in my fork); 30.5(2) pounds with lower end components and a heavy bash guard. Some might find that heavy, but I'm quite happy with it.

I know this isn't mountain bike related but i thought this shot was awesome.

Chelboed, your Komodo sure must be tough. Just look what it can do.

My old Raleigh is the Pig-eater...I save the Komodo for local "hicks", BWHAHAHAHA!

I got a new camelback for christmas. I also got a reallllllly nice 15 degree down sleeping bag. wooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooo.......

I got a dSLR to take shiny pictures of how great I am with.

15 degrees? You planning on camping in the tropics?

Somebody is pumped up this christmas!

I'm a bit torn now dude. I had asked for a rigid fork for the crapper for Christmas...I got a fat wad of cash instead. I'm considering getting

1. MarzXC600
2. Rigid Instigator fork
3. leaving the Mag21 on the crapper alone and getting a GD post for the Komodo. (leaning this way)

Hmmm...

I say GD post. Pick up a rigid fork off Ebay, when you get a good buy!

get the GD. or else.

Been out in the woods but not on the bike. The Hambone and I just got out of Middle Prong Wilderness. Cold wind,Coyote's howling,shooting stars and frozen boots.........good times.

I'm having trouble getting motivated to get up and put on frozen boots.....

looks like fun!!

anyways...

my friend got me some Jagwire v-brakes (pads) and a new Maxxis Highroller tire!!

So now im wondering, should i put the highrollers up front, and my Bontrager ACX's on the back?

I feel that the highrollers have more traction, and can corner better than the ACX's...

Think I've seen the highroller on the front of a few bike here on the forum.

ok....but more feedback would be appreciated...
