Quote:One other option is what I think is called a "rock ring". This bolts to the outside of the crankset like another chainring and extends up past the outer ring.
Thanks Bill and Dave
This is actually what I'm looking for. The crank on the hybrid is a SR Suntour and their web site calls them chain guards. I have also heard the term used at other places that reference what you call a "rock ring". After posting, I went and did some more searching and found some sites that had what I was looking for but under a different name and that is why I couldn't find anything under chain guard. They call them "bash guards" and are sold by the number of teeth on the outer chain ring. I don't know if I want to spend over $40.00 for it. I'll keep looking or cut an old sock and slide it over my leg.
Bill,
I checked out that web site and they call them "chain wheel guards" but they don't give a description of which cranksets they fit. Their on-line catalog tells you what cranksets the guards fit, but it looks like all are for Shimano MTB cranksets.
