2007 XTR Crank Bash Guard
We received the much anticipated 2007 XTR crank set today. Many of my riding partners have been asking if it will accommodate a bash guard. From the pictures I have seen I said “yes” but I gave Shimano a call to be sure. All I could get out of Shimano was “well it’s not a freeride crank why don’t you spec a Saint…” So I decided to find out for myself. Well I am happy to report you can run the 2007 Shimano XTR crank with a bash guard. I should note that the first bash guard I attempted to install was by Dangerboy and that guard did not fit. However, with a few passes with a file (on the guard not the crank) the Dangerboy product could be encouraged to fit just fine. Now all you have to do is find a good home for the $180 chainring you just took off ;)

Nice, I think you beat most everyone to the punch on this. You should post it on mtbr or something.
That's good news. I really wish the 07 crank was available when I built my bike.
I really wish you hadn't posted that. Now I want one and they're apparently in stock :( My credit card is gonna take a beating this month... I hate you. :)
