use both.. if you wana use just 1.. bash plate all the way.. if you dont use a bash plate your frame will be hammered in no time, plus you will need a bash plate if your trying to get on2 walls ect

[stya_bear]

Bash Plate for sure...

I do try my best to not use it when getting up things, but if I didn't have it, my frame would look like a pretzel haha!

Its more a protection for those extra high walls that your aiming to get up.

ring

[Jamie_Trials]

Bashring's are lighter and reduce the chance of your frame cracking, but dents and scratches are more likely compared to bashplates.

If you have a frame with a gusset on the bashplate mounts then cracking isn't a problem and it will protect your frame more. But if you don't have a bashring then there is a chance that your trousers will end up ripped in your front cog.

Personally I use a bashring.

[angua]

So thats two for bash ring and two for bash plate ?

Get both? That way you've got trouser and frame protection, then when you're a bit more confident and experienced you can ditch the plate and stick with just the ring!

Completly worst thing to do, your not meant to use it to get onto walls, its just too protect the chain, like it says on tarty. And you can bash up walls with bashrings i do it all the time, and if he hits it too hard, the frame will crack, though if you hit a bashring far too hard, the only thing that might happen is the bb will crack, whats better a £200 frame cracking, or a £15 bb cracking?

Trust me Angus, you don't want to go for a bashplate, go bash ring, like me and Colin never checked his frame, it could be cracked. that would be soo funny!

[angua]

Yeah so bashring or both ?

[joea]

I would go with both of them because then you cant go wrong.

[PeanuckleJive]

bash ring all the way

Having a bash plate, you'll always see it as something to land on if things go wrong and then you won't commit as much to getting it right. Using a ring you know that if you don't give the move some effort you're gonna scratch your frame

[Cundog123]

well if i find a cheap bash plate then i will use both but for now,Bash ring sounds the better option.

[Cundog123]

Yes you will for sure need a bash ring no matter what

[dann2707]

I'm using a bash plate because 1) I'm not very good and it helps me when I don't make stuff and 2) It comes as standard on my bike.

Maybe I'll go for a frame with a ring when I improve

Wrong, will help crack frame if the frame doesn't have gussets.

[anusthegreat]

Using both ring and a bash. I'm not that sick about light parts, that's why. It's kind of the only reason to keep your frame healthy unless you ride competition style.
