Actually, I might be able to use that spider. PM sent.
I want to run a bash guard on 2020 Sram X0 Eagle cranks...
I’m a well documented fan of Wolf Tooth’s CAMO system. The stainless N/W rings more than pay for themselves in terms of longevity and I’ve run the same rings on e13, RaceFace, SRAM, and FSA (Cannondale) cranks thanks to the swappable spiders.
Not cheap but very nicely made, high quality, and small batch USA manufacturing. And actually, compared to the price of SRAM Eagle rings even the initial purchase price doesn’t seem that crazy.
Anyways, early days but I’ve been liking their new bashguard version. It does look better with my 32t oval ring compared to this 30t. But it spreads the load out when I thump it with either size installed.

Thanks Andrew. I might just pony up for the WT system. I was starting to think that maybe I could be ok without a bashguard - but my ride yesterday confirmed that wouldn't be wise for what/where I ride.
Gonna try to make a SRAM DH spider work for my purposes (thanks Pizza-Diavola!!), but if that doesn't work I might check out the WT. Or maybe I'll just machine my own solution ;)

If you have ISCG tabs I am curious why go to all the trouble of a crank mounted bashguard when it's not falling to hand easily?

As I mentioned earlier - I don't like ISCG mounted bashguards. I've heard of numerous frames getting damaged from a hard hit to the taco - resulting in the tabs getting damaged / broken off. No thanks. I think I'd sooner run no guard than a frame mounted guard.

USAmade make some 104 NW rings with a bashguard milled from the same piece of billet, with the offset you can run as small as 26t on the 104 mounts.

I personally run an absolute black 28t oval ring mounted on the 64mm granny mounts which leaves my 104 free for a bashguard.
