Now I understand not every bike or rider requires this but if you ride steep chunky technical terrain this is the first upgrade you should do to your bike, in my opinion. I put this on my Giant Trance 3 29er which has a 30T Set up but I found the 32T to give great coverage. The skid plate it durable and most importantly, you may not need to take off your crank to get this on. It utilizes the bottom 2 bolts only so I was able to get the bolt holes lined up through the holes in my crank to fasten it. I was also surprised by how light the design is yet solid. Well made!
