Chainguards are not found on derailleur equipped bikes because the chain moves and doesn't keep the same track. A chainguard would have to be able to move as well. That's why you find them on most single speed bikes and those equipped with internal gears that don't require the chain to move.<BR/><BR/>Gerry :)Gerry Lauzonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06895691996292579014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31040015.post-55365597020063247192007-09-06T09:09:00.000-04:002007-09-06T09:09:00.000-04:00I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but have you tried pants clips/wraps? They are inexpensive and a perfect solution to keep any chain off your pants;)Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31040015.post-15339319337290085212007-09-05T16:48:00.000-04:002007-09-05T16:48:00.000-04:00I love your site Gerry! I was a bit disappointed that you don't have any blogs about chain (gear) guards. I know they are very difficult to find in the USA (where I am from) but was wondering if you have a solution to my dirty trouser cuffs. Can I build one? Do they sell them in Canada?Alissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12415182606259072366noreply@blogger.com
