Post by: markatkins on August 31, 2008, 06:25 PM
Remember the old Bully,GT and Haro bashguard frames'really good fun in the day,never thought id see those come back.
Just seen a picture of the new Subrosas frame which has a small bashguard to protect the small chainring.Not sure they will take off like before?

If the trendies run them then they'll take off for sure. Same as removable brake lugs, Haro did it first & no-one gave a shit, as soon as Fly did it it was the nuts! If the right company ran a huge purple bell end on their frames it would take off!

Fly did a small bashguard for ruben a year or so ago. It looks nice but I think it only fits one of the fly frames.

trendy Trill  :LolLolLolLol: has one of the Fly bashguards, but its smaller than his sproket so doesnt work  ;D

he also has the removable brake lugs, theres a problem  with them, they undo themselves when tightening up the brake, so both inventions are twonk and poor trill is brakeless and without a bash guard

Do the small sprockets on n/s rides need protecting there way thicker than o/s 44T sprockets which you only had to look at them to bend them or is it the chain they want to protect.

I clipped my sprocket on a coping a couple of times when i first got a new school bike.

next time i pedalled hard my ribs got the good news from the bars as the chain snapped.

so to protect the chain would be at least part of it.

those haro were a nice idea but nightmare on ramps as they slid all over the place , i took mine off in the end as pee me off and then just smashed the frame in underneath but at least had more control when doing stuff .
