Hi,

need a little advice, i wish to replace my out ring with a e13 supercharger but am unsure on which one i need?

Have a Race face Atlas crank with 22t, 32t and 44t, is it just a matter of getting a 44t sized guard as that is the ring i am replacing?

Maybe a silly question but wanna be sure. If that is what i need to do anyone know where i can get a 44t e13 in that mint green colour?

Thanks

    You'd want a 32T ring as thats the one you're protecting. maybe get 34?

    What i did was to get two new chainrings - 24 and 36. this meant i didn't loose too much climbing ability but then got a bit more help when going down.
    I then got a 38T ring to go with it? i think? or did i get 40 incase i wanted to go even bigger on a middle ring? anyway. you want to get the size you're protecting, not the size you're replacing.

    Get a 36t bashring 'cos you'll soon find that you're spinning out the 32t on the downhills.

    well all of the above are correct but a bit off.

    what size ring will you be wanting to run inside of the bash ring? get a bash ring to suit that ring.

    And you will be running two rings and a bash. If you want to run 3 rings and a bash look at a different device.
