Miss-Higgy Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Basically I've been using my bash plate quite a bit, if i get onto a wall using it i leave gouges and scratches all over it. This is annoying me when riding street as i don't wanna be breaking things. I have a Megamo Radical with the original bash plate. It has pins kinda like v8 pedals, it is very good but like i said it damages things quite a bit. I may be dreaming of something that will be worse than what i'm using, and the best way to avoid damage is to get better and do everything on the back wheel. Would just like some other peoples feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm afraid your only real choices are to improve quickly or ditch the plate for a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Or cut up an old tyre and zip tie it to the bash plate. Pile of extra weight but it'd do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Or cut up an old tyre and zip tie it to the bash plate. Pile of extra weight but it'd do the job. My thoughts exactly... or tube? But that'd wear out really quickly. Ideal solution is dont use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgresty Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 dont think any bash plates available at the moment will fit your megamo frame anyway, had trouble finding one when i built up my equip a while ago. best bet would be to ditch it and get a ring, itll do less damage to walls ) and save a bunch of weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Sooo..? I should use Dr Dre as a bash plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Do you mean damaging the wall or damaging the bash plate? Either way it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Do you mean damaging the wall or damaging the bash plate? Either way it doesn't matter. It does. Particularly the damaging the wall bit of it. NBR: Nothing But Rubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 If you can't get up a wall, bash it till it's short enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 LOL, I'm more bothered about breaking walls and stuff. The bash plate is easily replaced.. Its because the other day i was riding by this little wall and a little old lady came out moaning at me saying i'm the scum of the earth going round purposely breaking things i would like to stop this thought process by people. Or at least be able to turn round and prove i haven't damaged a thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Should have told her your considering becoming a mugger instead, at least that way the walls will be safe.........

chris4stars Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 on a more serious note....! i reckon, done properly, some spare tyre cut up and fitted onto the plate could look ok...a stanley knife, drill and a decent amount of small bolts/something rivot like etc? weight may be an issue but im not really one to care about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 It's not like your putting the weight on the front or back it will be central, so will get to it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Should have told her your considering becoming a mugger instead, at least that way the walls will be safe......... (Would also solve your employment problem) Or become a builder and charge people to replace the top brick work which you smash up with your bashguard? On a serious note: Just don't use your bash.
