Anyone tried fitting a Bash like the Hope for example to the new type XT crank as it looks as is may look a little odd when taking into account the Swirl pattern of the crankset to the outer chainring.

I have one from pilo.il on mine. by far the best looking bash for new XT, the quality totally is way way better than my Hope one.
Will do you a pic tommorow.

^ up to 34t and blue/red only.
i can’t be the only one who thinks the Hope bash looks horrible?

godzilla yeh will realy appreciate a pic – maybe post it to shireswhtmore@btinternet.com would be good

from pilo.il site:

running and e.13 SRS+ on mine – works & looks fine!

Godzilla, that does look pretty good! They don’t seem to do black on the website though? Out of interest what size rings are you running?

Running 32t, i had a few bits re-done in black by anodizer steve on the forum but Pilo list’s them in black on their E-bay page.

Cheers, have you tried a 34 or 36 on the Five?
