oldgrumps Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Was just wondering what the upper plastic chain guide function is. It seems to sit too high for chain alignment. The reason I ask is because it is a mud magnet. I'm wondering if I could just remove it. Old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 It's a token piece of plastic manufacturers feel obligated to put between your leg and the chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadof2 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think its a legal requirement for UK road use. Strangely at Adult MX gearbox sprocket guards are not needed, but if you ride adult MX class at a practice day organised by a schoolboy club you have to have a gearbox sprocket guard even though adults ride in separate group.
