tight lookin' chain guard

anyone know what company(ies) make good ones (ie...this slick one)? would you leave your pant leg dangling and trust it, or is it just 'cool factor' on a fix? still...

better yet, does anyone know a makeshift/shop way to make one?

it's the same sort as on alot of old road bikes it doesn't do much of anything

you want to make one like that you could grind the teeth of of a 52 tooth ring, or just steal the crank off an old Schwinn.

Probably won't do much though.

Better admire that bike while you can. Locked up that way, it is sure not to stay there very long.

there's no point to them on a fix, the chains don't come off if they're set up right (and if they do, you've got a whole other set of problems to deal with).

if you must have one, check the cx forums for recommendations, i've seen the name 'third eye' mentioned there.

ok...I thought they were to keep threads out of the chainring...those are the big covered ones tho I would I assume.... I see now that they are for keeping the chain on....looks tight still...I might have to hook up a shop original

If you really want one, might as well do it right and order a pair of THESE
I'm not sure if they will keep your cuffs out of the machinery but they will look good doing (or not doing) it.

Dogbait

Old ring, grinder and files. Not slick looking, usefull, hooks on rocks, logs and saves my chain\teeth.

some **** like this would be tight tho!

it's wierd to me that somebody submits pictures of bikes that aren't theirs

this isn't a very high crime area. i have seen much worse. brand new lemonds with a hardwarestore chain (not the good kind, the kind that are basically 's' hooks that you could bend open with a pencil). not to mention the fact that its parked between a firestation and an old peoples home.

^^^I heard of one guy having his bike stolen when chained to a tree... When he got back, he just found a treestump. That must've hurt.

that's fuked up....to kill a tree, so that you can have a bike

someone else's bike at that

better than killing the bike to have the tree though

is that really a fixed?
looks kinda like a freewheel to me

An old coworker of mine lost his bike after the city came and removed the bus stop it was locked to...

Depending on your ring size there are LOTS of options in that style available from various downhill parts makers. Also, as stated above, you can modify an old chainring that is bigger than yours to be a chainguard.
