Narrow Wide Chainring Question

[patches]

pics or it didnt happen.....

 

I would have liked for my bike to be clean, before taking a pic... but it's still a couple of months before my biannual bike wash.

 

So here it is (or as best as I can show it with my bike loaded in the van).

 

 

And here's what I got rid of

First ride will be this afternoon. I'll try keep an odometer on the ring to see if it's closer to 2500km or 4000km. (might take me a few years to ride 2500km )

 

In the interest of science (or laziness) I shall also use the minimal-maintainence aproach.

Nope. That's a bash ring. Nothing worse than kalumphing into a rock with your chain & chainring taking the full brunt of the impact!

You mean the orange bash ring?

 

That I'm keeping because 1) It's a Straitline and I paid good money for it, 2) My bike colour scheme involves orange accents, so it looks awesome, and 3) To protect my fancy new chainring from anything I fail to bunnyhop.

Now if you had cleats you could lose the bashring.....

I dont even have one on my road bike, so much do I dislike the look. (and the constant ratteling....dont even speak about the weight it adds )
