The shimano saint M-8## bashguard is a great option for those who aren’t doing serious downhill/freeride and instead just want to hope the occasional log or rock. Cost of the ring and adapter bolts is usually less than $20, and it holds up well. I’m not sure why any serious rider would want to keep three chainrings. You never use the largest, and it just gets in the way. You can make up any need for gearing by adding or subtracting teeth from a two-ring setup.

As for the person who is bending their middle ring, its definitely something loose or incorrect shifting/pedalling technique
