+1 Been keen to do this, but I'm worried the edge will be sharp once I hack the teeth off. Turning the bash ring into a leg slicing ring.

Here are more detailed pics: it's 3.5mm thick on the edge, felt fairly flimsy off the spider, but quite stiff when it is mounted. I have a 32T chainring pictured, I imagine you could protect 34T or 36T (maybe with a bit less machined off) This as about as small as we felt comfortable making it (there are some big cut outs on the bits that sit between the spider arms) and machining more off wouldn't have left much material there.

Good old milk bottle. I used one to make a vertical mud deflector to go between the rear wheel and the front derailleur.
A mate has a marsh guard/ muckynutz fender, but is only down the road in Townsville, a short 300klm + drive away.. I will look around the MTBs I see on the trails.. If you do have a template that could be scanned, or already is in your computer, it would be sweet. I can pm you my email address if you have something ready to go. If not, dont worry...

Um fellas those guards cost literally under $15. With how well they work I'd just drop the cash and be done with it!

A quick update. Bike is more complete now with the addition of the KS LEV. Always room for improvement but I love this bike! It's a genuine AM bike, I ride big ass XC hills, Shred the down sections and do DH shuttles all with the one setup. I'll be chucking a burlier set of tyres on it and heading to Queenstown in January. Can't wait!

Feelin' a bit rrranty
So good. You'll have a great time in QT. I was there last year and my Nomad was the perfect bike. From gondola runs in the bike park and shuttles on Zoot and Remarks, to hitting kickers on Wynyards and in Sticky Forest (Wanaka) and cutting laps of 7 Mile and Deans Bank (wanaka), it loved every minute.

Yeah I agree. When you look up All Mountain bike in the dictionary there is simply just a picture of that

Well aware of the price... quicker to cut one out yourself if you have a template...
well i took the old X-vert carbons off (dont want to damage them) and dropped on some nice 888 evo V2's for some functionality.
sort of all mountain in this guise... albeilt a heavy one... will drop the seat height and try some DH runs on it this weekend.
After christmas, the triples and lowers will be painted and decal-led to suit the rest of the bike... i might chuck in an angleset to rake it out a bit more too. But all i can say is that i love how it rides.
pm me your email address, i photocopied my morsh guard onto an A4 piece of paper before i fitted it to the balfa
My mountain bike is Kona coiler. My mountain bike is very good looking and comfortable. And my mountain bike color is same my mountain bike clothes red and black.

Intense Carbine 650B
Well after my Tracer got stolen a month and a half ago I am finally back on the trails with this Carbine.
With a mix of Enve, X01 and XX1, Pikes and a DBAir it really is an absolute dream to ride.
Hope you guys like it :thumb:
