the666ers Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Clive at leeson bikes does them and a very good job from what I have heard too. Now available, Leeson machined middleburn bashguards. Using your standard middleburn bashguard we are now able to machine away the excess aluminium to create a lighter more compact version. Price: £10 (when suppling your own bashguard There's an example from the website. You can contact Clive on 01933 314285, or email him on leesonbikes@tesco.net.

AdamR28 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think these guys are on about Middleburn style ones Aust, rather than simple 'discs' for UCI setups (Y) An example of Mr. Potts' work: Any shape/size can be made - thats just an exampe of a before/after bashring :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishwog Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The picture above, that Adam posted, is the before and after of my bashguard machined by Edd Potts, and it was in such a state, and i'm well proud of it now :P Highly recommended :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 yo, in my college the teachers say that a bash guard cannot be knurled because of it being to big in diameter. is this true? is there a way to overcome it? cheers.

You can do it with the small ones but cos it's only alu it will be ok, but you just have to push into it more instead of clamping down and make the machine wobble :P Phil.
