theone2be Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) Shall i upgrade my middleburn pro trials bash for the super pro trials bash, i love the look of it but have only been riding about 6 months and i'm worried if it will put up with some accidental landings, even though i dont use my bash at the moment i use my crank arm if i need it.EDIT: If so what gear ratio is good with a 16T up front?

max-t Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 hi i dont think its a good idea.my mate has one of them diddy bashrings and now he has dents and scratches in his chainstay due to the lack of protection it provides.he switched from a 22 one to the 16 and the only good thing that he has gained from it is a weight saving.(which isnt much as they are now made from steel)i think that the bashguards are more suited to comps because it gives you more ground clearance.hope that has helped max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) No advertising on NMC...It is strong as you like, no worries there. Only down side I found was I use quite a heavy gear so I needed a really small sprocket at the back and it skipped. What ratio do you ride at the moment and I'll tell you what sprocket you need!!

GTF Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 if you want more ground clearance - do it.I like the 22T better, but that's personal tasteif you run 16T front I recomend 14T at the rearhope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I love mine, everything about it is great.However I highly doubt you will benefit from it, especially seeing as it is such an expensive upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 If you've barely used your current bash, there's not much point spending money on something you're still not going to use.Keep you 22t one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
