The chainglider is a great product. Once you have a chainguard, you wonder why any bike would be sold without one. A bike sans chainguard is like a car sans door. If I had to do it again and could find another product that would fit, I would buy a traditional chainguard instead of the chainglider. $46 is almost half of what I paid incl shipping. Its worth the $$$ to have a chainguard that fits my bike
Quick question for you...kind of a dumb one actually...but i see a lot of fixed gear bikes with large rear hubs (as opposed to bikes with gears with small hubs). What does that large rear hub allow for?
