Title: Chain guards
Post by: oldschoolace on October 31, 2011, 05:51 PM

Ok so you find yourself with a bike which would have had a steel chainguard originally do you:

A:  Bin it, a chainguard on a bmx is so wrong

B:  keep it, its original so it should stay

Asume the bike is to be kept period but not necessarily stock  :D

What about this one, does the fact that its a freestyle bike clash with the guard?

We used to think the same about pads and they seem quite popular now.
Might buy the chainguard anyway, its only at 1 cent. Be daft not to.  :D
