I so wish that chainwheel guards were available as aftermarket items. I'd prefer to not have to make any adjustments to my trouser leg before getting on my vintage Trek 520. The 2020 Kona Sutra came with one so, that made it attractive to me over competing bicycles. I love how I can just grab the Konacado, get on and ride, and not have to worry about the outer chainring grabbing/tearing at my trouser leg inseam. I'm sorry, but there's no way in hell that I'm going to go put on a pair of tights, just to transport myself somewhere by bicycle. That is an unreasonable expectation to make, and contributes to fewer people wanting to bicycle. Therefore having no chainwheel guard available is an anti-bicycle business decision.
