I have an '03 Giant NRS3 with a Race Face Ride XC 104mm 44T outer ring front chain ring (4 hole).
Is there a rockguard/bashguard out there that will not require me to be without my outer ring? I do a combination of on road and off road trail riding and don't want to lose my outer ring for the luxury of a rock/bash guard.

Blackspire makes their BIG RING PROTECTOR in several configurations.There is a picture of a 4 bolt version of the page I've listed for you.I've got one on my Cannondale and it works great.It adds a bit of weight but your big ring is safe from rocks and logs. They are kind of expensive but I got mine used on Ebay for about $12 Canadian plus I paid $5 for longer bolts and spacers.They were about $70 for a brand new one(Canadian dollars again) http://www.blackspire.com/prod_cguard.html Dave
