aener Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Birthday's coming up and parents want to get me something. Got all the important bits set up just how I want though, so thinking for things that won't change how it rides, but still improve it. How strong are they? Specifically when mounted in the BB. I don't make a habit of landing on the bash, but I do slip down on to it at least a few times each ride. Will it take the abuse, or are they "for competition use"? And does landing on them damage the BB to notable degree if mounted there? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 They're pretty tough. I landed on mine a couple of times and it didn't really show any marks at all. I used one of Ali's old ones that was pretty ancient and it had a tiny kink in one part of it, but that was about it. Nothing that stopped it working, and was barely noticeable in any case. They're pretty decent! Look pimp too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Cool. Any idea on what it does to BB's? Lots of stress where there isn't usually and isn't designed to take can't do them much good, but maybe no real damage? And they just offered a set of brakes, so expect a semi-sizeable order in a few weeks. Heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre right at the end of the bb threads so any thread damage is negligable and there are a lot of DH bb mounted bash guards that are designed to take impacts at much higher speeds into equally as tough obstacles. The only main issue would be chain alignment as you're pusihing the driveside bb cup out by the width of the bashring so the whole bb axle and crank arm will get shunted outwards.
