Bash guard for a road bike

willbevan

Hi all,

After investing in some decent assos tights for the winter and having caught them a couple of times on teh large chainring, was wondering if anyone can suggest a bash guard that would go onto a 130bcd fsa chainset?

Being ignorant, I presume they go over the current chainring and don't replace it? Can be fitting on a normal chainseT?

Cheers

Will

had athink about it, and I think its from when I unclip and put my feet down.

not sure if im leaning onto my left with all my weight and catching my right foot or what :S

Its not when I'm actually pedaling anyway

Try to unclip with your left foot, when stopping.
May save wrecking a good pair of tights.
Save putting a bash ring on your bike, too.

aha - chipper marks - unclip on the left and your problem will be banished. FWIW a bash ring usually replaces the outer ring, otherwise it proabably wouldn't fit inside the crank
