I Absolutely subscribe to the bashring camp. Was very happy when I saw the CAMO bashspider from wolftooth come out. Once I wear out or destroy the alloy RF chainring on my fatbike, I'll be ordering one along with a 28t stainless chainring. I'd also second the desire for a smaller option for their 28 and 30 tooth chainrings. A smaller one will look much more appropriate next to the smaller rings, and restore a good chunk of ground clearance. My primary FS bike and my hardtail are both running Saint cranks with 104 bcd RF bash rings, and they have seen a Lot of rocks and all kinds of crap over the years and have the scars to prove it. I always cringe and scratch my head when I see friends destroy their unprotected and dainty direct mount chainrings. The lack of bash ring compatibility has been the biggest thing keeping me away from considering any crankset other than Saint.
