[QUOTE="robinlw, post: 3971"] [b]Guarding the lower run too.[/b] On otherwise the standard setup I have fabricated a lower chainguard (from scrap sheeting) about 4" deep for my twin, attached to the convenient torque arm. Most pre-war rigid machines had them & as riding has been my mode of transport for fifty years, thus a high mileage, I first cottoned on to saving money by making a guard against water & dirt being thrown off the tyre on to the inside of the chain to be squeezed against the sprocket teeth on my new Douglas Dragonfly, though I seem to remember that first effort didn't allow suitable clearances..... I noticed Ron Kemp had also done this some years ago on his Shadow & perhaps Russell can confirm this. Then there's always Tony Maughan full chaincase design not to mention the short-lived Peter Furlong one (if you don't need to turn your wheel round to use the other sprocket when entering mountainous country or attaching a chair!)
