They are meant for 2 totally different things.......................

Bashguard is, well, read what it's called.

Chain guide, well, also read what it's called.

:skep:

 

what are you trying to accomplish? keeping your chain on a single ring?

I've used an E13 SRS for years and it works amazing at keeping everything in check. I'm about to try running 2 BBG bash rings (1 on each side of my chainring) on my CX bike to hopefully keep the chain on. not sure how well it'll work but I'll find out soon as they get here.

 

i guess my real question is... how well does the bashguard keep the chain in place on a 1x10 setup, has anyone had problems with the chain coming off?

 

It works well with an inner chain keeper but just a bashguard will still allow it to fall inwards.

 

Here's a chain guard that works well.

Both a bashguard and one of these would make for a perfect 1x10 setup. :thumbsup:
