Moro 07 Bashguard?

[jreising326]

I whacked my Chainring pretty hard last weekend on Rock Garden trail. Nothing was damaged but I suspect it might be a matter of time. Anyone have a recommendation? I don't think an ICGS-05 guard will fit and probably need to use one that bolts to the Chainring?

Id like to get one as well for my Moro 05. I assume they would be similar

did you find one? Where?

I ordered one of eBay a week ago in Purple and it finally shipped today. I think ICGS-05 will fit, when I posted above it was dark in my garage and I didn't see the mount points. Once installed Ill report back.

Looking at this today. the ICGS-05 comes in many variants.

Do you have a link to the one you got?

most I have seen only go up to 34T.

Our bikes list a PRAXIS 36T online.

Found a few other options on their website though

This is the one I bought, put it on and it fits and doesn't rub but I had to install over the chain guide on one end. Picked this one because it's Purple and 34T - 36T:

Also, even though my bike was supposedly set up for my weight by the dealer, it was way, way off. My wife's shock was way off, but forks were spot on. Buy a decent pump and set up your shock per the app to start.

nice. I have an old bontrager shock pump that I need to see if the pressure is high enough to work with the rear, it will be fine for the front.

That app is sweet!

My only question is when it says "rear wheel travel (mm)" I assume that means shock travel which on my moro 5 is (150mm travel).

To confirm, you had to remove a chain guide to install it?

I like that bash guard....its $70 cheaper than the ones I was looking at haha

No I didn't remove the chain guide, just 1 bolt and used it to bolt the bash guard on over that part of the chain guide. It's clears the chain and sprocket, I was worried it might rub. Use loctite. Will field test this weekend with a ride, but think it will be fine. My old shock pump seal gave out after pumping up my son's Moro, we have 3, so I upgraded to the Rockshox 600lb pump for ~$30? It's a high capacity pump that raises pressure faster per pump. My old Pump I was pumping a long time to get up to pressure, once. Next bike, it lost pressure each stroke. Rear travel is 150mm and don't forget to select ebike and Lbs instead of KG, and don't exceed max pressure.
