What are they called - chain drop prevention "thing"
I used to have one of these little things on my MTB (long-since sold) and have seen them on several of YOUR bikes, but I can't seem to figure out what they're called. I'm referring to the little plastic piece that clamps to your seat tube basically directly across from your small chain ring and that prevents the chain from dropping off the chainring during a bad/hard shift or when hitting monster bumps. Anybody know what I'm talking about, what they're called, and any online sources that stock them? I could use a couple . . .
Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

i think the technical name for the class of devices, as opposed to brand names, is in fact "that chain drop prevention thing". or on a WSD bike, "that chain drop prevention thingy."
