Bash guard

fil_b

Hi all

I want to get a bashgaurd for my Nukeproof

It's got a 38 tooth cog and I want to get a bash guard for it

The 38t are expensive

The 40 or 42t are cheaper and more common, Could I use one of them?

Thanks

Phil

Yes.

Thanks

That's helped

You could but if you use a chain device it'll be too far from the chain ring to work properly.

I can't use one currently as I have 2 cogs up front ATM

Not long had the mega so getting used to it before I mod

You can use a chain device with a double chain ring set up.
An oversized bash might also effect front mech set up.

A couple of teeth difference shouldn't.

As long as the bash is no bigger than the big ring mounted in the same location it shouldn't have an effect. Most ring spacing is around 10 teeth (so 38 to 48 in this case - Shimano trecking ratios) so 1 40 or 42t bash will have no effects.

Right

Following on from this

I picked up a bash guard to my Nukeproof. I have got it with 2 cogs up front


Bit I have Found an Issue tho. The 4 bolts in the crank, when I undo them it only loosens the outer cog and I can't see a way to attach it and retain the cog

It's a Shimano Deore crank

Any ideas

I try upload a pic once I am home

I think it's a Deore M615 if that helps

If it's a double crank, you can't.

fil_b

thanks
