The OneUp Bash Guide was developed to provide class leading chainring protection and chain retention for the worst the trail can throw at you. We're not going to bore you with the all of the dry testing protocols; instead here's a video of us smashing stuff in glorious super slow-mo with our drop tower of destruction!
Still not sure if the Bash Guide is strong enough for your riding? Enduro World Series defending Champion Richie Rude, arguably one of the most aggressive racers in the world, depends on the OneUp Bash Guide as he battles to take a 2nd consecutive World Title.

The bash guard is normally best designed with a waffle in it to dissipate the load.
Anyone can cut a piece of good solid plastic and show that it doesn't break, the key to good design is to have good input requirements, system requirements, sub system requirements, trace matrix from requirements to design verification testing, good test methods, TMV, DVT, etc. etc.
Might be picking this up, depends on whether or not it'll fit on my good old blindside!
As we all now the impossible is usually normal when shit goes south but that plate definitely bends most of the time.
Tell that to hardened iscg bolts that sheared and bent before my backplate or iscg gave and broke .
The chain guide was perfectly fine
Btw add 200-250 lbs to that crank because that me standing on the pedals at time of impact

No the bars did not brake. Yes the bike was ok
Seriously... Holy shit!... oh f*ck.. uh...
Glad you're ok.
I think Properp is Waki's ex.
Weight doesn't matter as long as they keep the energy the same. That means they need to drop the bashguard from a height which gives the same energy as an measured impact from an 100kg rider.
Energy = mass* g*height
I am not even taking into consideration that you are almost always moving forward so there is another vector adding another batch of kinetic energy from the forward motion.. so poor rockring has to deal with forward speed induced impact as well as vertically induced one...
Maybe you are confused by the fact some companies test their products rather than just buy in from Taiwan / directly copy others?
PS for your information 85% of what we sell currently is manufactured inhouse in our UK CNC machining facility. we have a few videos online of the robot loaded pedal manufacturing cell for example...
I have seen the videos of you manufacturing a few bits and bobs as I am involved in manufacturing so nerd out on that kind of stuff, and get the engineering magazines etc - impressive setup on that pedal machine but that doesnt change the fact that your parts are all taiwanese or direct copies of others.
Your 'nano' pedal is an almost direct copy of the 'Nano' as named originally by HT and sold by you for years, you even used (or still use?) their axle in your pedals and use their bearing and bush arrangement.
Aside from pedals, how are 85% of your products made by you?! - Hubs - No, Rims - No, Bars - No, Stems - No, Chain Device - No, Seatclamps - No, Seatposts - No, Garmin tat - No etc etc, just headsets, pedal bodies and chainrings all of which pretty easy to just copy directly from competitors (As can be seen in one of your videos of your desk filled with competitor parts) - Sounds more like 20% of parts....
Easy to criticise other companies R&D when yours is done by your competitors first...
Potential Energy = mgh
Kinetic Energy - 0.5mv^2
These two must be the same ... ignoring losses of course.
However, with impact / shock loading other factors must be taken into account.
In our test the deceleration is very high (as close to instant as we could get) so the mass needed to achieve a very high force can be quite low.
The mass still plays a large part but so does the time of impact.
Yeeeees yeeeeeeeeeees!
When two bodies collide - momentum is conserved, energy is not.
There was no indication of the height in the video so im only discussing an interesting point rather than digging at your guys. Thought there would be ways of improving it and getting more useful info out of it.
There is a limit to scaling of things in that way, you could drop a Hotwheels car from 500m up to simulate a car being dropped from a metre, the end result would be vastly different!
Im more than happy there are plenty of interesting people making more products for riders to choose from, i definitely don't want a single world dominating supplier. Customers choose who you like, plenty of choice out there.
Just because we list a huge range it doesn't mean that's what we sell. We concentrate on promoting what we do best inhouse, and the rest of the product slowly sells through as we clear the old Taiwan made parts. We dont hide where each thing is made so its very clear to the customer.
The majority of our sales are wheels, pedals, chain rings, headsets etc, most of the other holes in the range are in development now, and will be brought in-house. Hubs are the next big product to be finally brought inhouse, but we cant rush them as they need to be right. So as i say 85% of our sales are made in the UK in house we are aiming for 95%+ to bring us in line with other UK made companies.
Im sure everyone in the industry benchmarks the competition, so yes we have samples of other peoples product so we can develop a better part of our own from scratch. The pedals are our own custom extrusion, custom forged axles, CNC endcaps etc, so yes it looks like a pedal but thats because its a pedal. 2 new completely different pedals are in production now that the volume selling Nano is out there in the tens of thousands.
Obviously we get parts like rims, spokes and bearings in from specialist suppliers but so does every brand out there such as Hope which im sure people would be considered to be British made.
Whats your beef with Superstar that you need to make claims about what we do?
I have seen the Nano pedal you sell, you even advertised it initially as using 'proven nano internals' - directy taken from the HT pedal that you even stole the name from. Are you disputing your pedal uses different internals to the HT? I bet those new pedals you will have ready soon will look mighty like the Raceface too? No?
Superstar, or more specifically its director Neil have a history of being underhanded, commenting on competitors products often under false names, going to small claims court over minor customer disputes and providing quite hilarious levels of customer service. The comment here was another example of that and you should be called out on it.
I would get on with the running of your business and leave PR to people that have some common sense.
To whoever at Superstar made the original post, it might be worth taking your boss in a few donuts tomorrow morning. I know I would if I'd just made the company I work for look very very silly on probably the most important advertising website for the company....
Then you can all share them while you peruse Taiwanese factory catalogues for ideas.
@WAKIdesigns - this is one in a long line of attempts by the Superstar director to discredit others products and companies. Trivial maybe but shows the measure of the man.
f*cking wild watermelons growing on a trail have done this to me twice now.... I have not hit a coconut yet, but I'm sure one day it will happen.
OneUp here I come.....
You're doing it wrong. Vodka goes in the watermellon. You chase it with the redbull.
Love one up stuff tho.
but wait, a narrow ring company is now doing chain guides?....
www.youtube.com/watch?v=psZUwK9ldVg
The thing is made to protect the ring and the only "real" hit (or what it approach the most in their demonstration...) make a bend in the ring..!
Ahahah... No, you won't take my money...
But, that's always nice to see some guys pushing the limits with watermelons...
