    Whatever a bashring costs, it’s worth it to avoid injuries like that! When I broke my ankle my plastic bash managed to give me quite a graze (can still see the scar 18 months on) – god knows how unpleasant it would have been if I’d had a wound like the OP’s under a plaster cast for weeks.

    No bash guard on any of my bikes. I am looking at transmission options but it’s a bit pricey to alter three bikes….. Its also the first time in 25 years of triples it’s happened to me…

    **** arsing ooooooouuuuuccchhhh!

    There was a thread from one of the ladies on here last year showing this happening to her mate in the alps. It was just before PPdS, so cue me running to LBS and frantically fitting a bash before the big trip.

    Get well soon bud!

    I got a good ‘stabbing’ behind the knee a few years ago. Impressive at the time but very tame compared to the OP. Its another reason to ride with a bash ring.

    Another reason, other than if you ride in a rocky place, to drop the big ring and replace with a bash guard…

    It doesnt take much to do that, a little pressure and a spinning crank.

    My 1 x 10.

    …and that is why I have a double and bash on my MTB…
    Had a couple of nasty nips off the big ring and thought enough is enough.
