Yah Cheeto...you'll need the bash anyways to keep the chain on. I built this 1x9 crapper Komodo outta misc. parts laying around with no bash and no jumpstop and dropped the chain 7x on the first ride. Second ride, I had a FD on it to keep the chain on...dropped the chain 0x.
A Jumpstop and a bash are definately a must for the XC Maniac.
