Not really too much of a weight weenie as I have a generic 4" FS travel bike. Put some lightweight parts on and had this Raceface bashguard drilled out by an engineer at work... Looks kinda cool...

just take a 44t ring and saw off the teeth then grind it clean! much lighter! :thumbsup:

Same bad idea as pulley wheels with extra holes/cutouts - fine when its dry but you'll find it gains back the weight if you have to ride through mud.

I don't ride through mud... It leaves ruts in the trails.

you do know raceface makes a lightweight bashguard also right?!

I bought this one and had it already........so instead of letting it sit around and collect dust, I had it drilled out. I'm not hard on the bike and do not abuse it. I do go to Santa Cruz and bash it over a few fallen logs, but nothing major.
