I'm looking at replacing my 10spd double chainset on my whyte with a 38-24t SLX Double.
I'd also like to put a hope bashring on it but a bashring isnt something I've used or fitted before.
Can someone point me in the right direction of the right sized bashring and also how are they fitted?
Cheers. 🙂
You can't put a Hope on a double without making it a single,it's designed to replace the outer ring,read description here.

Cheers for that, so in a nutshell, I would have to buy a 10spd tripple SLX, Remove the outer ring and replace that with a bash?
Or you could look for cranks with an integral bash,like the Saints.
Or just get these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mobile/MobileModels.aspx?ModelID=28019
thejesmonddingo, I think you're getting mixed up. On a (normal) double crankset the bigger ring is in the standard middle position, so you can still run a bash on the outside - inc that Hope one (I have one)
The 10spd SLX in my OP offers me the chainring sizes I want. I was hoping to be able to buy that and fit a bash.
I installed a Blackspire 104bcd bashing in lieu of my outer ring to go from 2x10 to 1x10. I'm sure you can get them in other BCD sizes too. If you have ISG mounts, you can get ISG bash guards but I guess they're more expensive.
