tom 20 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 ..i think you can get bashplates from tarty bikes. www.tartybikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Maniac Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yes but can it be fitted to a zoo python frame, and is it essential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 pythons dont have pash plates, you have to run a bash guard, which will come with the echo cranks.to be honest, its an awesome deal, do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
