Possibly Fitting a Hope IBR

Hey guys
Does anyone know or have seen if the new IBR's fit onto a SLX double chainset (M675's)?
Borrowed a bash guard from my mate and this doesn't fit at all when I went down to 1x10 (36t /w 11-36 cass) so atm there is only my chain guide keeping the chain in line but after a few rides am starting to realise the area I bike in isn't chain ring friendly and would defo need a bash guard.
Anyone have any experience with the IBR's and SLX double ?
Cheers in Advance
Joe

Why does the other bash not fit (or in what way?).
No reason the IBR shouldn't fit.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
The arms on the crank are curved instead of flat on the outer side as it was designed for 2x10 and not to be used with a 3rd chain ring like in the picture
Even if I placed it on the inside instead, the chain ring is far too close to the bash and the chain wouldn't run at all.
Will have to give the IBR a whirl anyway and see if it fits.0 -
Did the IBR fit? I'm thinking of doing the same.0
