from Dundas, ON Date Reviewed: August 8, 2002 Strengths: Does what is supposed to do. Easy to put on. Looks pretty cool too Weaknesses: might be nice if it had some grip on it to help bring you over logs, but no biggy...that would probably jack up the price anyways. if you are worried about the weight, you probably wouldn't use this thing anyways, so that is not an issue Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Freewheel Cycle Similar Products Used: my poor race face chainring Bike Setup: does it matter?

from Vancouver Date Reviewed: August 27, 2001 Strengths: The Product is strong. I can take large chunks out of concrete walls and not notice it. It's amazing what a 7mm(?) thick block of aluminim can do to would be problems. Weaknesses: None. And if you wine that it has a mass greater than that of a normal ring, and you find this a problem you do not deserve to be riding one. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Downtown Vancouver Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Westpoint Cycles Similar Products Used: none. And rightly so! Bike Setup: Small RM Oxygen Race, Hacked seatpost, Welgo Alien Flats, DH bars and the all important rigid fork

Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $28.00 Purchased At: LBS special order Similar Products Used: My bent big ring with 1/4 of the teeth half gone provided this function previously.

from north andover Date Reviewed: June 7, 2000 Strengths: - clearance. the number one reason to get one. allows you to float over logs and rocks that fellow riders will be scraping over and slamming into. - strength. this ring (meant to replace the big ring, unlike the rock ring) is machined out of thick aluminum. bending it is probably not an option, your spider will likely bend before this does. - protection. missing chainring teeth will be a thing of the past. - sizes. the rings come in many difference sizes and bolt patterns, so you can likely find one that will fit whatever crank you happen to use. - misc. the laser-etched graphics and sticker rock! - ease of installation. the cutout for the crank arm is very wide. i've had a couple of other bash rings where i had to cut out/file down material so that the ring could fit on the cranks. not so w/ this one. also, the chainring bolt holes are beveled, ensuring a snug fit when tightened. - cost. about the same as a big ring, will last a lot longer. Weaknesses: - the cutout means that you can only mount this in one direction, and rotating the ring is not possible. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: dutch creek, durango Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: threshold design bash ring robin coope custom ring Bike Setup: xc ride: spooky pit boss w/ z1, hope disks and hubs, race face everything else (uses two chainrings). trials bike: schwinn homegrown, maguras, c-dale rigid al fork, flats, rhyno/lx wheels, single 22T chainring w/ ring god bash ring.
