Been trawling through previous threads.....
But, which is lighter, mrp x1 chain device, or n stop and bash ( was thinking a Ti bash might be light?)
if I ditch the front derailleur, cabling and two rings an go with one of the above options how much weight will I actually save?
depending on what you are using, probably nearly a pound. i took off an xt shifter, cable, xt front mech, xtr granny and straitline bash and that all weighed @ 450g. i think those mrp things are about 60g.
Anyone got a photo of a fitted MRP 1x?
Don't discount the Paul Components Chain Keeper at 69g. It also, should it be muddy, amasses virtually no mud or detritus - unlike the MRP 1.x I soon ditched...
or the Rohloff guide at 76g.

I have a titanium bash (bought from the lad who sells them in the classifieds) and an Nstop, they weigh next to nothing and work out pretty cheap compared to anything else I've seen!
How much stew and any pics?
If you want a lightweight bash and cheap, take a look at BBG Bashguards.
cant for the life of me find one of those ads from the guy who sells the ti bashguards, could anyone direct me to one of his ads or let m eknow his username?
cheers
reckon it cost me £35ish for both if I remeber rightly, it looks smart and less cluttered - if that makes sense. (although I did discover that being a fat @$£II$I£d, means there are just some climbs you really need the granny ring!)
I can't find the guys name, but will let you know if I do. try putting a wanted ad in the classifieds, might work
Just found his email address - drop me an email to: stew.porter@gmail.com and I'll send it over.
Paid £20 posted for the 2mm one.
StuE - having run them both, do you have a preference between the mrp 1.x or the jumpstop + bash?
Pedalhead-both worked fine, just prefer the look of the MRP

i am thinking the n stop and bash is the prettier method.....
