I am 100% on the ring mounted bash program. For all the obvious reasons stated above. I catch a bit of flack for my “old-school” setup, but I’m the one laughing with a drivetrain that doesn’t need monthly chain and ring replacements.
I was tempted to pull the trigger on the WT Camo system for my new build, but HATE the idea of needing to stick to WT proprietary rings. Managed to build up the perfect system for cheap - an older SRAM spider, 104 30t ring and RaceFace bash. It even allowed me to run the Spesh top guide as shown in picture (which I’ve since removed, as I think it’s overkill).
