Crash Plate ISCG 05 Bash Guard

The V2 of our legendary 77designz crash plate is milled from extremely strong 7075 T6 aluminum. It protects your chainring (round or oval) from impact damage (for oval, go 2 teeth larger). We offer 4 sizes and eight colors for minimal overlap and maximum style. Compared to the V1, we have optimized the contact orientation; the new slotted hole means the Taco now also fits Santa Cruz carbon frames. There's no need to disassemble the crank to install the crash plate, meaning assembly is quick and effortless. The Taco Bashguard's minimal overlap offers the best protection for your chainring while maintaining maximum ground clearance. The crash plate can be combined with our ISCG 05 chain guides: all you need is the connector.

FEATURES

• Super light: Our crash plate uses a thin aluminum plate, which is very light yet stronger and more durable than most bulky alternatives.
• 2-hole mounting: This allows for easy installation of the crash plate without removing the crank. The crash plate now fits all Santa Cruz carbon frames thanks to a small slotted hole.
• Hollow screws with T25 - The hollow, stainless steel screws are lightweight and protect the ISCG mount from overload.
• Precise fit: We offer our crash plate in 4 different sizes. Due to the minimal overlap of the crash plate, you can maintain valuable ground clearance.
• Optimized contact zone rotation: The alignment of the contact zone on the V2 has been improved to protect expensive chainrings and chains during casual rides and races.
• Eco-friendly packaging: Our parts are packed in small plastic-free paper bags.

COMPATIBILITY

• Round chainrings: Same size or larger: if you use a 30-tooth round chainring, you need at least the 30-tooth Crash Plate or a larger one.
  
• Oval chainrings: Use +2 teeth or larger: if you use a 30-tooth oval chainring, you need at least the 32-tooth Crash Plate or a larger one.
  
• Santa Cruz Carbon frame: The Bashguard does not fit all Santa Cruz carbon frames, because their ISCG 05 has too large tolerances. The center-to-center distance must be 53.9 to 57.9 mm.

SPECIFICATIONS

INFORMATION

The bash guard is 5mm thick and the screws are flush. The screws we use are hollow drilled so that they can shear off in case of overload. These bolts prevent damage to the frame. 

Most bicycle frames today are designed to withstand the load introduced by a Taco Bashguard or Crash Plate; nonetheless, you should consult your frame manufacturer about whether your frame is approved for our crash plate.
