Wondering why more recent (to me) cranksets don’t have bashguards.
If I want to have one on a 2×10 setup would I use a 3×10 crankset and replace the outer ring and would a 2×10 front mech accommodate this.

Just longer bolts required iirc.

I can sell you a 34t one of these for £10 posted. PM me if your interested.

its not 2007 anymore.

I have this setup on a set of Race Face turbine cranks, as far as I know it’s the same as the 3x chainset but with the outer chainring replaced with the bashguard.
I run a standard front mech with the limit stop adjusted to stop it moving past the middle ring. I’d be concerned that on a 2x only front mech it wouldn’t drop onto the granny ring as don’t 2x chainsets have the inner ring further outboard?

Exactly the same here as the above. Works fine.

Same as those 2 ^^

I even have a pikcher

I think 2x specific cranksets have both rings a couple of mm further outboard.
