    Favorite Trail:anything ridable
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $32.00
    Purchased At:Jenson USA
    Strengths:protects the middle chainring and crankset, has little notches in the edge to help it get over fallen trees easier, looks real good, even with some mud on it. oh, and keeps the chainring from shreading your jeans or long riding pants
    Weaknesses:um, it wasn't free? it's a bashguard, as long as it doesn't break (which it doesn't look capable of doing) and does what you bought it to do, it's got no weaknesses
    Similar Products Used:stock 44t chainring
    Bike Setup:'06 GT I-Drive 4 5.0, Azonic Aggro stem, Ritchey WCS Riser bar, Ergon MP1 mens grips, WTB seat, Crank Brothers Candy C pedals, SRAM chain, and of course the FSA bash guard
    Bottom Line:it does what you buy it to do, looks good doing it, and won't break the bank. what else can you ask for out of a CNC'D piece of metal?

    Favorite Trail:Cascades--Patapsco State Park
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $30.00
    Purchased At:REI
    Strengths:Protects your crankset from getting destroyed! The outer ring on my bike was absolutely done and I have never used it while riding anyway so why not make the bike stronger.
    Weaknesses:Ummm, none that I can think of.
    Similar Products Used:N/A
    Bike Setup:Cannondale Rush 5, Thomson Elite, WTB Speed, Crank Brothers Candy C, FSA Bash Guard and the rest is stock
    Bottom Line:I actually got a clear polymer bash guard made by FSA. Not the model picture above. The polymer is a little lighter.

    Strengths:-price
    -strength
    Weaknesses:-none
    Bottom Line:i just started getting into some light trials stuff. a bash ring probably isn't necessary for the stuff i do, but for the price i couldn't pass it up. it replaces the outer chainring which i don't miss at all. it has actually come in handy is showing some scars. it is pretty thick (5mm) and has taken a lickin. we'll see just how long it keeps tickin.
