Hello, I have this crankset on my 2021 Specialized Chisel: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/ ... 511-1.html

It's 12-speed, has a BCD of 96mm and I have a 32T round chainring (stock Shimano - doesn't have a part number) on there and I have a 32T oval AbsoluteBlack chainring (more like 34T round at the widest point).

What are my options for bash guards? I can't find anything which is marked as compatible with this crankset. I also see tapped holes on the inside of the crankset for possibly a smaller chainring, or maybe a bash guard, but I don't know their BCD or why they're even there (almost looks like a direct mount option for 2X inner chainring).

Thanks in advance!

Figured out the answer - get an ISCG-05 adapter for threaded bottom bracket then bolt on anything which fits that 3-bolt or 2-bolt pattern, such as AbsoluteBlack Taco for instance. May not work with some carbon frames and will not work with threaded BBs. I have an alloy frame so this solved it for me.
