I bought two of these for our commuter/shopping/pub bikes. We just want to wear normal clothes on these trips and not worry about greasy trouser legs. We bought cheaper Hebie chainguards that lasted about 3 months before the plastic was cracked around the mounting points. Utterly useless for bikes like these that have a hard life in the city! I should have got the more expensive SKS Chainboards in the first place, after 11 months use they are still perfect, having taken all the knocks daily use throws at them. Buy cheap, buy twice as they say! I should have listened to my own advice.Fitting is reasonably easy if you have the tools(you need a crank removal tool and a bottom bracket tool).

Like all the SKS items that I've ever ordered for my bikes, this is a superbly made item where a lot of thought has gone into how it best fits onto your bike. As a result, this item sits between the bottom bracket frame and its bearing housing (ie the outer screw-in 'cap') - therefore, before you consider buying this item, ensure that you know how to disassemble your bottom bracket, you have all of the tools required AND the bearing housing is not jammed solid and won't budge.....I'm guessing that you can see where this is going!?! (only after I commenced fitting the guard did I spot that the bottom bracket bearing housing had been miss-threaded when originally manufactured by R@y[£!g# - dohh!)I

Ok for a bit of plastic its clearly not cheap is it but I have to say it fits well and it does look smart. I have a 3 ring frt crank, largest 48t and didn't need to make a cut out for the front derailleur but there is one you can push out if you need to. Does sit a couple of inches above the chain at the middle and rear, ok at front, so not an exact custom fit if you like but obviously it keeps your trouser leg away from the chain so does the job. Strong feeling but lightweight so doesn't add hardly any weight.

Not so universal after all - I too had to cut it down to size (like another reviewer here) to fit the frame. Used a pair of tin snips which worked just fine. I had to try various combinations of the included fittings for it to attach without the chain rubbing against the included nuts. Other than the faff of fitting it, this is very well made and works as expected.

Just what I needed for my bike, now I can ride without the fear of oil and dirt on my clothing. Did have to take it to a shop to get it fixed but that was not a problem. Felt good having managed to obtain something all the Bike shops in the area had failed to find, everyone told me I would not be able to get one for bike.

Easy to install as long as you are happy removing bottom crank, mine was fine as came off quite easy as already had crank remover tools. The fitting and adjustment on the chain guard was gives some play for length very pleased.
