The size will be expressed as XXt, thats the size of the middle ring you want to protect. Get one that is the right size, the right PCD for your cranks, and most importantly of all, looks prettiest 😀

Get one with the Long chainring bolts included...I bought a Truvative one 'cos it was cheaper and had to get the screws from Jensen USA 🙁

I've used a couple of the clear-plastic FSA ones that do from 32t to 36t and come with the longer bolts. Looks ok, fairly cheap and does the job:

I've got back to a triple on my Soul since the pic was taken but am sticking with 2+bash on my Enduro.

CRC do the extra long chainring bolts too

The FSA one on CRC is cheaper and includes the bolts

A 34T chainring will sit behind an FSA 32T bashring, just the chain will be almost flush, fine for 1*9 chainguiding but not as good for out and out chain/chainring protection as using the correct sized chainring with bashguard

Yeah I've got that one, I got some e-thirteen longer bolts from CRC though. Not cheap, but still works out about the same as the e-thirteen bash guards, and it is very pretty.
