I've been looking around for a chain ring protector, but they all seem to be for a single ring not a triple. Slightly bored as the Missus and kids were having an afternoon nap, I thought I'd have a bash at one. I used the same corrugated plastic roofing material as I'd used for a rather successful front mudguard extender, and after copying from a cardboard template, and 1/2 hour of melting and shaping over the oven, came up with something reasonable. It's bolted to the pump mount threads, under the cables. With a bit of fine tuning form the hair-dryer, it's not a bad fit. This is fitted on my Dawes Tanami, but I plan to make a more substantial, permanent version from some aluminium sheet for my Alien Aurora when it arrives in January.
