Why taco and not crank mount may I ask?
Chrishc777 – It offers a little protection to the BB area too
Well that and most new 1x drivetrains don’t make it easy to fit a crank/spider bash anymore. Pros and cons I guess. I always hated the way they acted like a dirt trap beside the chain ring.
It’s 2 bolts, what is there to go wrong?
The grade of plastic MRP use is/was particulalry susceptible to cracking and corroding when it came into contact with chain lube. Saw it on lots them. So, if was still the same I would foresee that bash cracking around the bolts before long.
