The thief took a Demo Orbea Alma 29er color black carbon, size 18, Sram XO gold, Rock Shox fork, and a demo sticker on it. The guys was actually stopped by 81st and Lyndale in Bloomington by the police but they could not hold him because they could not prove it was stolen. Please pass the word out about this bike. They is no other bike like this in the state of Minnesota.

Finish is anodized and looks decent and somewhat strong, but time will only tell how well it holds up. The install was super easy. Took only 10 minutes to get it on. You can reuse your existing chain ring bolts. Just make sure you put some thread lock on them when you reinstall them. For those interested I ordered the 32t to cover my 32t chain ring. There is no reason to go any bigger then the chain ring size. The bashguard extends 1/4" past the tips of the gear teeth.

For $18 shipped it's a good deal. I kind of wish I would have ordered a second one that is solid. I can see dirt and mud getting caught in the holes but I own a pressure washer so cleaning it shouldn't be a problem.

My chain fell off a few times road riding in the big gear due to the missing teeth. LOL!



Size comparo (size 32t bashguard)
