MRP Bash Guard Installation | Protect that chainring!

There's been a few times where I think I can clear an obstacle, but I stop and walk my bike over it because I don't want to destroy my chainring. That excuse is no longer valid because in this video I install an MRP XCg Bash Guard.

I think I need one. But the extra grams!!! 😂

It's not a road bike so you can get away with extra grams for your safety.

I bought one but have never installed it. I’m local and ride the same trails as you and have never had a need for it locally.

There’s been a few times with a downed tree that I feel I can ride over but it would’ve smashed my chainring - so now I think I can try those without penalty now.

it looks weak, the force that would tear the teeth would also tear that protection or bend it and scrape the gear ring, only once in 40 years have I destroyed 2 teeth

I've folded over an Absolute Black oval ring but I think that's more of a design weakness rather than failure from impact. The bash seems pretty sturdy to me but we don't really have sustained high speed runs here.
