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?
I just run two rings (28-38T) and an outer bash guard, as I find I really don't need 3. When I get round to it I'm going to angle grind all the teeth off an old outer chainring and use that as a lighter alternative to the outer off an old MRP chaindevice on there at the moment.
