Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Patrick A

I know it sounds hokie, but I'm tring to find a source on chaingards. I'm probably going to part a few old bikes and cobb something together eventually if I can't find anything, Nashbar or any of the other online parts places don't carry them (not even a chainring guard like most comfort bikes have) but I see a lot of chainguards (most of them plastic) on new commuting and city bikes.
I do a lot of "casual" biking, ie: run a couple blocks to the store, etc, and frankly it takes more time to change into bike garb than the round trip! I have an old late 60's Huffy 3speed roadster that does the trick most of the time, but I wouldn't mind doing it on my commuter sometimes, too, thus the chainguard. Nothing fancy, just functional.
Also, does anyone have a good source for internal hubs? Again, Nashbar only has a three speed hub, I was thinking a Nexus 5 or 7 speed. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks-
Patrick
