Currently running 2x9 with 22/32T chainrings and a Raceface Light Bashguard, it works fine apart from it doesn't provide quite enough protection for my frame bottom bracket housing which is getting scraped on a couple of my local trail features (logs etc).
Considering swapping to a 36T bashguard, either something similar like another RF or Hope bash, or maybe slightly burlier but still light such as an E-Thirteen TurboCharger.
My query is, roughly how much bigger diameter will a 36T bashguard be?
Thanks in advance,
Paceman
I can measure both of mine this evening if you like.
I almost always have 36 bashes on 32 cogs. Its there to hide the fact that I need to run a small front cog to make up for my fitness/strength defecit..
Thanks CGG that would be useful, I probably only need another 7-8mm.
Morning bump.
Anyone else??
after looking at the old patriot frame, and seeing the carnage on the down tube, I cut and fitted a section of old tyre from the mech on the seat tube round and up the down tube to take the brunt of the damage on the new 5 frame. Might not look bling, but it does protect!
150mm for 32t, 165mm for 36t, both being these stylish Truvativ Rockguards:

Cheers CGG, that's really helpful 😀
...not sure i'll be ordering one of those Truvativ Rockguards though!
It was a sure fire way of differentiating my bike from the dozens of identical orange Souls in the Brighton vicinity... 😉
