BBG Bashguard 104 32T BCD Drilled Chain Accessories
Product DescriptionMade in Portland, Oregon USA. This is a light weight but strong bashguard that is designed to replace the big ring on your mountain or cyclocross cranks or you can cover the big ring. All bashguards are made from the same 5000 series 1/8 inch thick aluminum (except the superlights which are 1/16 inch thick) and are all anodized and laser etched for durability. It works great for single speeds, cross country and all mountain riding. They can also be used for freeriding and downhilling. The 104 32T weighs just 58 grams which is alot lighter than the 5 ounce freeride type. This product has been tested over boulders and rocks for over four years now and we have not been able to bend or break one yet.

from Orlando, FL, US Date Reviewed: February 22, 2012 Strengths: Looks great! adds a custom look, adds more clearance, makes it a lot easier to go over logs, rocks, etc. makes it a whole lot harder to get sliced by a chainring (I have gotten a pretty nasty cut before I switched). Oh yeah, and it makes it just about impossible to drop a chain on the outside. Weaknesses: Might could use a teeny bit more offset as the guard has been slightly rubbed by the chain, but I think it is more because of the chainring I have. Either way, no big deal Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Carter Road, Lakeland, FL Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $12.00 Purchased At: BBGbashguard.com Similar Products Used: none Bike Setup: 2005 Giant NRS C2, Fox Float 80 RL fork, Fox Float R, Easton EA70 Monkeybar, FSA 110mm stem, Avid Juicy 7's, Avid 160 rotors, a "ghetto" 2x9 drivetrain with BBG bashguard, SRAM X0 rear derailleur, SRAM X7 shifters, Shimano Deore LX front derailleur, SRAM PG-980 cassette, Raceface Deus XC cranks, Crankbrothers Eggbeaters 1 pedals, Mavic 317 wheels, Kenda Nevegals 26x2.1

from Redwood City, CA Date Reviewed: February 10, 2012 Strengths: I ordered the 104-32 that isn't drilled. This thing is super light and bomb proof with a hard as hell anodized finish. I think it only weighs around 53 grams. Not your average lexan piece of junk. It's a very simple design that looks awesome. BUILT IN THE U.S.A! Very quick delivery (took a couple of days). Thinking about swapping out my 32T ring for a 34. I'll just grab another one of these bad boys for $18. Oh yea, lifetime warranty. Weaknesses: Weakness? Nope.

from Eugene, Oregon, USA Date Reviewed: October 13, 2011 Strengths: I have two of Erin's wonderful bashguards and a third one on the way. First thing I want to point out is Erin is a pleasure to deal with and he sends the product off FAST (got mine the next day, although it's only a 100mile drive from Portland to here). Next I should point out the regular old, non drilled out bashguard I have been primarily using is working well. I had it on my 1x9 XC bike, which I ride more as a AM bike and it's lasted a lot. I do some moderate drops, some jumping and rail through everything (rocks, roots, etc) and there is only a slight cosmetic blemish on my ring from really cracking into a larger rock. The bashguard is still straight. My superlight, drilled bashguard I have is not subjected to such torture and I don't imagine could take as many beatings. I would more or less rate this one as a chainkeeper. Looks pretty though! Erin makes an inner bashguard to replace your granny gear (albet only for 32t chainrings) and a number of outers, meaning a bashwich (bashguards on the inside and outside) is very much an easy option for those who'd like to try out a 1 x X set-up. Classier than a traditional chainkeeper in my opinion. A few of my buddies who play bike polo ordered these bashguards as well and have been more than happy with them. Polo is a pretty brutal sport on rings and the like, so this is definitely a show and tell of the bashguards' strength. Weaknesses: Metal seems a bit soft, but still strong enough in thicker sizes.

from California Date Reviewed: October 5, 2011 Strengths: I can say this product is BOMB proof! I have already ran it threw the worst trail ever, and i climbed over a boulder, in the streets.. Bashguard was perfectly fine. For the price, compared to other brands, BBG has my money. Not to mention, it is made in the good old USA, and price for the bashguard itself is great. Weaknesses: None i have found, and I am generally a stickler for weaknesses... Okay, maybe the only weakness was that the pictures on the website do not show how great these bashguards are.
