2 weeks ago, I picked up a new Specialized Epic Evo 8 Expert and with it came a a brand new SRAM GX Transmission group set. In researching this group set, one of the most intriguing accessories I saw was the ability for a chainring mounted bash guard to be installed.
Upon closer inspection of the bike, I realized that the bike already has an MRP 1x chain guide mounted on it, that mounts to the rear suspension's main pivot bolt.
and it seems that would conflict with the bash guard on the chainring.
I've never used a chain guide before on one of my bikes and I've never managed to lose a chain.... I've also never managed to bend or wreck a chain ring, but I definitely have hit one before.
so the question is.
chain guide or bash guard?
