We will be in touch
Looking at getting a bash ring to go with the 1x9 I am setting up. What light weight options are there.? I don't really need a bash guard for its intended purpose of protecting the rings but I do need one to hold my hone crankset in one piece.

I've got a couple of [url= http://www.bbgbashguard.com/Mountainbike.html ]BBG[/url] bash rings - I think you'd be hard pushed to beat them on value.
Why'd you need it to hold the crankset together? Do you have chainguide mounts? i'd guess a plastic one.
Is your crankset falling apart then?
Not really looked at it but would'nt I need something in place of the big ring.?
No- you can use spacers instead, or short chainring bolts
Ok.
What ring would I fit.? One without ramping and pins.? And one that looks better than the standard middle ring.
you need something to hold the chain on ime. either bash and n-gear or a mrp type guide.
i was going to suggest bbg.
What size are you after? A DH or singlespeed chainring has deeper teeth so the chain stays on better.
titanium bashgaurd? 69g for a 32t 4 bolt.
Hmmm...
Probably a 32 tooth with a Paul's chain keeper.
Salsa chainring 🙂
surly chainring 😐
FSA plastic one. Claimed to be 50g. Much lighter than the truvativ one when 'weighed by hand'
Cheap(ish) at £16 on CRC
If you don't have a bashguard or outer ring you will need shorter chainring bolts.
