Cranksets w/ bashguard

[TIMBERRR]

What kind of setups are you guys running.
Please include the weight of the crankset and BB. Looking to upgrade and trying to find a durable crankset/BB/bashguard thats not too heavy.

Thanks

Im running raceface atlas with dual rings and bashguard on my nomad - for about 6 months.

Website says 955g with triple rings and BB.

Pretty happy with the setup - smooth shifting and super stiff.

i'd be surprised if there wasn't a lot of xt hollowtech 2's out there with bashguards of one form or another, guessing somewhere under 900g for that setup (depending upon the bashguard).

I recently put on a RaceFace Diabalous and it's heavy (lists @ <1200g) but boy-o is it solid. Nicely adjustable chainline too. It's like 200g heavier than what I had before (FSA V-Drive MegaExo) but it's soooo more solid - I just do not notice the weight.

Just switched my 960's to 760's with a bashguard. Don't know the weight but they shift as good if not better than the 960's.

Running a RaceFace Ride DH crankset w/ X-type BB. Total weight is 1250g. No complaints....it's freakin' bullet proof.

Faily light, like 920g with BB, 2 rings and bash guard probably

If you want DURABLE you need Saint.
If durable is OK, you can live with Hone or LX

XT's w/ an E-13 bash. Not sure on the weight.

it also depends on your weight and riding style. For AM, I dont see the point of having saints (unless you are a heavy guy)

Totally agree.

And I violate that as a rule myself, not ashamed to admit.

I'm just a firm believer that if I break it once and it's not from regular wear & fatigue, then my mass + riding style + ride choice == need more burliness. I'm willing to pay the price in $ and # to have hardware under me that will bring me home.

I think u can also combat that problem with clipless pedals

I have never had that happen to me ever once.. (ridden clipless my whole life practically)

But yeah, the other option is a good bashguard

[unfluid one]

XT or Atlas with a light weight bash like Gamut.
I personally use their aluminum bash because i'm not crashing it @ higher speeds often.. but even their plastic bash is pretty darn light.

[CBiDrive]

XT with Truvative 36t and Vuelta 24t chainrings and E13 bashguard. just a little heavier than the 3ring setup but worth it

[string]

XT with a Dark Cycles Bash Guard. Not the lightest guard, but adds a little bling factor.
