hmm i would go for an E13...anyways now that i got that out of the way. I dont really think that the Lexan is that much better then just a normal chain guide but for an extra $15 would do it
OK I guess it's necessary. The e13 requires "slight modification" to fit the demo9. There's no reason for me to have to modify a brand new product. The MRP is as good or better and I like the orange rollers. So, lexan or alloy ring? I'm leaning toward the alloy. I like the grinding sound when I hit rocks. But if the lexan is otherwise a much better choice I'd go for it.
well some people say you will have trouble down the way with alloy bash rings cuzz they could bend etc. i dont really now about mrp's lexan bashguard but i know the e-13 is a sick guard. i have onyl heard of one person ever breaking one and it was cuzz he tightened the bolts down to tights and in cracked. but e-13 has great customer service and will warranty any of that stuff even if u do somehow manage to break it (or so i have heard). i dont think u should spend the etrxa 15. i think u should hold the extra 40 and just get an E-13 for 109
I've had much better success with the lexan guards. I'm a hack sometimes, and like to plow through things. The aluminum bashes I've had get chunks taken out and can get deformed/bent, vs the lexan that glides across rocks , and downed trees while staying true.
