I mean the protector ring in the photo. It is not what I would call a bashring but I am looking for one for a new commuter build and I cannot find any and I suspect it is only because I dont know the proper name. Any help appreciated.

PS I should have at least cleaned it first 🙂

it looks similar to a cyclo cross chain guard. In cross though they use two - one each side of the ring instead of a front mech.
Not entirely sure, but I thought they were used to protect your trousers from getting oily... maybe search for "trouser protector" or similar if you haven't already????
sorry, not much help.
Chainguard?
Thanks Stu. I thought a chainguard was the one that went back along the chain but you are correct and I found some that may be suitable though surprisingly pricey.

bumbly - check out BBG Bashguards from the US (only $10 though) - they make very "light" bashguards that are more protectors than proper bashs - esp the superlight.
i'm guessing that the [url= http://www.thebikestation.org.uk/ ]Bicycle Station[/url] or a bike shop that do lots of repair work (is Bains in Newhaven still going?) will have one kicking about.
Cheers guys, very helpful, now just waiting for my rear wheel 🙂

If youre not after a fancy looking one then try some local fabricating companies, Ive had stuff like that knocked up for me in the past and theyve always been cheap, its a very basic cutting job for a machinist as long as you give him accurate measurements.
