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.

    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.

    Did the IBR fit? I'm thinking of doing the same.
