DeVal Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Right im trying to find an old style bashguard (bash ring) which i can attach the front sproket to (22 tooth sproket)but fits to the bb by sliding ontothe bb and attaching to the drive crank with a bolt. the cranks and bb are 24/7 dark angels. i could probably bear having an 18 tooth on the front if needs be ill just need to get a 14 tooth for the back. the one i have now is like ten years old and slightly bent. Its an old dmr one so no idea of the name. edit.. i should say it's like a middleburn with the sprocket attached apart from it obviously doesnt have the middleburn universal fitting thing and would need a bolt hole to attach it to the crank.

Trials Punk Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think I know what your after. Two words, hen's teeth. I've tried to find images of the old pashley bashguard that fits 3-piece cranks, but to no avail. I did want a bashguard similar to what your after to run on my BMX but never found one Someone out there must still make bashguards for 4-5 bolt chainrings!

DeVal Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 you can get the 5 bolt chain rings easy. the middleburn 22 tooths on tarty are just the job. the trick is finding a bashguard that it will attach too. In actual fct if the bashguard fits the chainring and is full surface (no holes) i can easily drill a hole for the crank bolt. problem is these days they all seem to be screw on's etc so finding a bashguard that just slides onto the BB as a snug fit will be hard going. the one i run at the moment stil works its just ever so slightly bent and you get a slightly tighter spot on the chain. Mabye heating it and beating it flat with a rather large hammer will do the trick lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Assuming you mean something like the DMR Ring Thing Elites. Bash mounts to the 3 piece crank and has a built in spider? If so, I've got one spare. Drop me a PM if it helps Edit; One of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVal Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The picture above is the exact same bashguard i have! Are there any modern day equivelents out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Not as far as I'm aware, though there will probably be something of a similar ilk in the BMX scene I'd have thought. If not, there was a phase where BMX/MTB companies put out a few different types of bash in different guises that might do the job, though I'm fairly sure very few (if any) of them went down to less than around a 32t ring.

Scott Gibbs Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The thing i cant understand is that with exception of middleburn no one makes 5 arm cranks anymore yet manufacturers still pump out 5 bolt bashrings. Blackspire, dmr, gusset, ect. Doesnt really make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVal Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 its for odd balls like me who ride with 24/7 dark angel 3 pieces on trials bikes lol. + the five bolt is the standard for the largeer bashrings that people use on downhillers and such these days. so i guess they keep the smaller 22t etc sizes going aswell.

Luke Rainbird Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I used to run a set of DMR 3piece cranks on my old Ashton 24". Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
