Chain ring guard for a Sugino XD
Hi all,
does anyone know if there are chainring guards that fit these cranks? It's 110bcd, 46-36-26, although this one is actually a Stronglight Impact. It's on my wifes bike. She would prefer not to lose the top ring of the triple if possible, and it looks like the cross style bash guards would simply replace the outer ring... Her new dress got caught in the chain on the way to church today. Fortunately, the dress is black and the chain clean, but next time....

Just a week ago I put a chainguard on my girlfriend's bike. It's a triple with similar chainring sizes to those you mentioned.
The chainguard came off an old singlespeed and is the type that attaches to the seat tube (near where a front derailleur normally attaches) and also to the seatstay. I cut off the back half of the chain guard and kept the part that covers a the top of the chainring(s). It seems to work pretty well just like that- the part where pants would hit the chain is only the forward top part of the chain's loop.
