Hey I saw an article a few months back about a new XC orientated bashguard/ skid plate that can be run with triple ring set ups http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/mrp-launches-patented-xcg-series-of-impact-guards-for-cross-country-bikes/ Thought it would be a good idea for the whole 'extreme XC' 'All mountain' kinda riding I'm into without having to give up my big ring. Anyone tried one and anywhere selling them yet?

Email whoever imports MRP.

Neat idea Andy.

I always find I need 3 rings though, so I went for one of these

Not too much heavier than the MRP thing

Yeah works great, no prob with the mech. It's alloy. Fits on like this
