mini_raga Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi there, been out riding today, I have a Monty 219 Magura and noticed half way through the day my chain was rubbing against the bash plate, when taking a closer look i relised that it had actually bent the bash plate, by the chain...... Also when sumping something the space between the bash plate and rear tyre always takes the force, and also crushes my chain against my swing arm???

Hendrix Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Bash plates are there to take a bashing ...So probably just need to put it back into shape, or get a new one mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini_raga Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks for all the replys, some usful info there! talk about this for bad luck though, when comin to the end of the day (luckily)... I did a drop off which was about 6ft it was off a sea wall onto a river bed (the tide was out.... plus i didnt have my arm bands!), but anyway when i landed my back brake seemed to have stuck on, and when i looked there was the smallest of stones in-between the brake pad and the block (if thats what its called) which caused it to jam up. N if u look how small the gap is, its really bad luck is that!thanks again,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottkingsbury Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) hi , im runnig a bash ring and a plate for extra strength , but my mate just runs a bash ring and they seem to be a lot stronger than plates hope i helped Edited April 15, 2007 by scottkingsbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop wasting us serious peoples time and just leave. Yeah it's called trolling, and btw, you're not a mod.I'm surprised that it's bent, i thought most we're rather robust. On my da bomb there was no chance of the bash bending - it has metal tubes either side (difficult to explain). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I ask is cos I also have a 26" Saracen M-A-D Team bike as well (which is for sale!), and that runs with a bash ring, looks like alot of the frame is exposed?Thanks,Chris Edited April 15, 2007 by mini_raga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottkingsbury Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 as i said i run both a plate and a bash ring so its not exposed and is much stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
