I never used anything but the stock 46t chainring and guard... So I guess search Amazon and Ali.
Seems there's a bit more available since I retired my BBS 3 years ago

This is my stock 46t setup and gaurd, and lots of pictures to piss everyone off and use up their bandwidth. 😁

I woulda thought less?

I fixed my mid-drive throttle too.
Now it stays where I put it,..


20260721_152512.jpg
20260721_152529.jpg


I added a stiction wire.

20260721_153002.jpg




@PedalUma knows a guy that disappeared without a trace after he wrapped a zip tie around his throttle.

Now I can disappear twice as good, so's no one will finds me. 😁


I bought a four dollar throttle lock, but I prefer my wire.

Checking my thread depth,..

Thread just starts to grab,..

20260721_160804.jpg


Threaded until it snugs up,..

20260721_160918.jpg


Eight threads start to finish,..

20260721_161048.jpg



Less than 2½ threads on the original hex bolts,..

20260721_161213.jpg




Time to find new bolts.
About half a dozen threads longer?
 
In the interest of going Really Really FAST, I'm gunna remove my 42t chain wheel for now and go with the 52t until I gets new bolts.

I should be fine if I stay outta granny gear.
My derailleur can't stretch that far without a longer chain.
 
Ohh, FFS,..
I broke one of the damn mounting tabs off the chain gaurd,..

I'm really not keen on the cheesy plastic chain guard.

My original chain guard was a double sided bash guard.

I'm gunna see what I can find on Aliexpress.
Meanwhile, I'm gunna hot glue the damn tab back on.
