> White Industries' ENO or VBC cranks, ENO bash guard chainring may be the ticket. It doesn't come in 40T though.
Wish White would make the Bash Guard equipped Eno with larger rings. Guess most demand for the White is with the pure MTB set. TA makes a very lovely silver bash guard (need to order from the English companies to get here in the U.S. - they have a CF version which is easier to get in the U.S.) 130 bcd bash guard. My city / light tourer has a TA Carmina with a 42 ring on the inside, bash guard outside and 14-34 5 speed freewheel. Very good range for commuting in Chicago and touring around the upper Midwest. 2 years now with this set up and no dropped chain. The problem with 130 of course is you can not go below 38 teeth. Even a 38 would be quite a challenging 1 x set up for off road or mountain camping trips for most. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
