Bashring Placement?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so i'm currently building up a rockman aurem 3, and will be running a bashring.

But I can't decide whether I should run it inbetween the frame and BB, or be normal and just chuck it in behind the ffw?

Any opinions, and if you reckon I should be running a bashplate on this frame, tell me!

Thanks for any replies

worst case scenario:

bashring on the bb : all the force goes directly through the bb/frame, and you'd destroy bb threads

Bashring on cranks : you'll destroy the bottom bracket bearings

So personally i'd use it on the cranks. A bottom bracket is cheaper than a new frame

I wouldn't use a bashplate... They're for comps with short lifespan use really, cause top comp riders have the money to spend.

Just put the bashring on like the one in the snapped frame picture, if the frame dies- it dies.
