V2.

YeH front disk guard. My bad.
Kev, If I don't find any relatively quick solution, ill let ya knoe fam.

Have you got an old or bent rotor? I can cut and drill a steel plate for you to mount it on, I've got a few just gathering dust. Then you'll just need to cut the rotor to fit the fork & caliper. 2 minute job with a dremel.

@john, that appears to be the V1?

No, the first version is the one I have on my bike, with the two separate pieces.

It's possible he's developed this one further, not sure, he did mention something about fitting the standard mounts.

Wont having a disc brake guard mounted that way put stress on the axle or hub?

I doubt it, it's not taking any force that the axle wouldn't anyway in a crash.

But you are best asking max.

I'm very close to blowing £200 on a Middleburn Uno 175mm 32t chainset. is anyone going to talk me out of it? my girlfriend is away for a week, now's the time.

also, suggestions on a BB to match please.

and don't say Hope, John...

Hope.

John.

Hope

John.

too easy.

£200 on cranks is stupid.

Just putting that out there.

FWIW I'm getting a Middleburn Uno as a Christmas present, and I'm getting a Hope BB for it.

Unless you're rich. In which case, can I have a set too?

He's already buying me a set for Christmas....

I know it's stupid, but I want it.

tell me what else to get.

just get a cheap deore one, that will last you forever and if it doesn't in over a year when it wears out then you can just buy another one for 12.99 rather than £70 for hope and £100 for chris king.....although saying that I would I would buy a Hope if i had the money....or was John 'the pimp' H

£200 for polo cranks? You're still in that k-hole.

but mangs dey look so bling ya get me?

cranks wise I really love the standard deore ones which you can get for around £30-40 on pink bike, marry that up to a goldtech chainring for £30 new and you got yourself a sold crank set for under half the price of the middleburns....

Square taper RS7s can be had for £50-60 on eBay, living in the past will save you money (plus they're lighter when paired with a bling BB and have a shorter Q-factor for less pedal strike).

I have a spare 32t ring if anyone needs it.

These are my favourites, black versions of my Deore LX. The best design (aesthetically) of the modern shimano 2-piece cranks IMO. For the short peeps, in 170.
