Submitted by Mike Kelso a Downhiller from Billings, MT
Date Reviewed: April 14, 2004
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:The Stroke Shop (err.. Spoke Shop)
Strengths:Looks cool.. Does what it is intended to do, protect my chain ring, hasnt failed at that yet.
Weaknesses:I had to grind a large portion to fit my Truvative crank arms. Also could be a little stronger, hit is fairly hard once and it was pushed into the chain. After I bent it back it holds for a few months, but if you hit anything again it starts to bend back in.
Similar Products Used:None
Bike Setup:03 Specialized P.1 with Avid mechanical disk (8 inch in front, 6 in back) Avid FMJ, Maxxis Minion tires (2.35) Marzocchi DJ3 with QR20.
Bottom Line:It works.. just dont hit anything too hard.

Favorite Trail:anything fast
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $40.00
Purchased At:competitive gear
Strengths:super thick, strong, Looks amazing on my stinky deelux, And so does the mrp sticker i put on the frame.
Weaknesses:I had to grind a huge portion away so it would clear my crank arm so i could bolt it on. I have race face cranks and they are way to beefy to fit the bash ring over.
Bottom Line:Now that i got the thing on my bike i am very pleased with it. I guess i could of just sent it back and got the race face one and not had to do all the messing around but i like the MRP silver. I seriously had to grind away a big chunk to get this thing on. So if you have race face cranks and you dont want to fool around with a grinder for about an hour, id stick to the race face one. but MRP still kicks ass. I'll give it a 5 for value and only a 3 for overall cuz they didnt warn me about this.
