maxxis26 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 thought you could only get bash plates on mods?if your getting a bash ring got for an echo i here there quite good, if your using a 22 tooth chain ring try a dmr ring thing, solid steel , you wont smash that!i use middle burns myself and never had and problems with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionicman Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 if you want to get a bash ring get the 74 kingz very strong and as strong as a burn bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I've got a Echo lite which comes with a bash already. I then bought some second hand cranks which had a rock ring on. So i was running both but decided to take the bash off. Now it's just a rock ring thats there.There is a little more protection with the rock ring as i side hop to the right. So no touching the sprocket there. Although pros and cons to both i believe either is a personal preference. I don't mind as they both can look cool. Running neither would also help as you would have to ride UCI style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 ?? i ride a mod???and i am runnig a front freewheelIt doesn't matter to much to what you are running. As long as it's 18t. To run a bash ring then you would have to remove the freewheel before putting your new ( echo? ) bash ring on. If you got a guard why not keep using that? What do you not like about it?

eskimo Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 it keeps snapping and bending which is a pain plus i cant ride in jeans because i keep getting them stuck in the chain.Fair point. Although if you are landing on it that hard for it to 'keep snapping' then i don't think your bottom bracket will live very long either. Maybe go a bit a lighter.I'm not sure on what bash ring you should run now if you use it that heavily. Maybe ring tartybikes and see what they recommend. As a UCI on proberly won't do the job.

eskimo Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Dude have you rang tarty yet? They could help you to make a choice right there. As for being lighter try using the pedal to land on rather than the bash. It will be a quicker movement and look rather slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 You can get Pythons second hand on here. That IS the best place for bikes due to reliability and price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC12345678910 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I'm running a bashplate and ring at the moment and it gives me more security. what chainring size r u running? The all-in-one crank/ring off of the onza T-bird is all I can suggest. they take 24t rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
