So i am considering getting a bash guard. I have not used the largest ring since......so long i cant even remember. So i am willing to sacrifice those gears for a little protection. Even if its just the mental aspect of knowing i wont get caught up on any huge logs, rocks, or whatever, i want to try it.
So here is the question. I was debating replacing the stock 34 tooth ring in the middle with a 36 tooth to give me a little higher of a gear just in case i find myself flying down a hill looking for a higher gear...
Is this a bad idea? Am i missing something here?
Also, the ring i am looking at is 104mm - And all the bash guards i am seeing are only 104mm. So here is a dumb question. Will they fit with each other or do i need a bash guard bigger then the 104mm that is the chainring?
