C'mon man. It's the 1 time out of 100 that I forget that's the problem.

Yeah, it is funnier if you assume I'm changing my crankset instead of rolling my pant leg up.

I've never actually had my pants leg eaten by the chain/crank. What happened each time was that I forgot to tuck my pants in my sock, went to put my foot in the strap & brushed my pants on the chain. The cleaners was not able to remove the stain.
Fellas, chain/bash guard or not, I'm changing my crankset. I purchased the bike used for the frame. Many of the parts were old and/or cheap. I've been replacing them as I go. The cranks are next in line.
I've seen the RD2 suggested a few times. The price & quality fit in with the rest of my bike. I mistook the XD2 for the RD2 & thought I found a great solution to 2 problems.
But again, I get it. It's much more fun to set up jokes. I'm happy for the few serious answers. Thank you!
