Classic bicycle chainguard
Buy a classic bicycle chainguard
If you are thinking of restoring an old BH-type bicycle, such as the vintage BH originals from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s that have chrome-plated steel parts, any of the chainguards we have for sale in our online store Biciclasica.com is a perfect solution for mounting on those authentic city bikes. They are compatible with all of them, and will undoubtedly look great on your vintage bicycle, whether it is an Orbea Deva, a BH Gacela, a traditional Dutch bicycle like a Gazelle or Raleigh, or the Dutch-style Batavus. Our chainring guards will also undoubtedly look great on any fixed-gear or fixie bike, or simply on an urban bicycle.
To buy a good chainguard for your bike, you must first keep in mind that in most cases you will have to remove the bottom bracket spindle, although we also have retro Italian-style chainguard models that allow for mounting without having to remove the bottom bracket spindle and cranks, such as our classic steel chainguard model.
Bicycle chainring guard
The function of a bicycle chainring guard or chainguard is very simple; it is a bicycle part that keeps the bicycle chain protected and prevents it—as it is in motion while riding the bike and usually greased—from staining your pants, or worse, getting your clothing caught between the chain and the crank.
There are bicycle chainguards that completely cover the chain on all sides, top and bottom, and even at the back where the rear sprocket is located. These chainguards are very common on typical Dutch bicycles like the OMA and OPA types, which are urban bikes designed for minimal maintenance. The fact that such Dutch bikes usually come with an internal hub gear or no gears at all allows them to have or be fitted with full chainguards.
Plastic chainguard
There are many plastic chainguards in many physical and online stores. As it is an element that, by its nature, does not affect the mechanics of the bicycle, it can be made of a more fragile material like plastic since it is merely a protective element. However, plastic can suffer from certain wear and tear over time, which can be exacerbated by exposure to the elements. Therefore, if you are looking for a chainguard that provides greater rigidity and durability, it is better to opt for steel or aluminum chainguards.
Steel and aluminum chainguards are also more elegant, as they can have a chrome finish, which in the case of steel can have a very attractive shine. Both also have the advantage of being paintable, making them ideal for ensuring that this part of the bike fits perfectly with the style you are looking for in your bicycle restoration.
Chainguard weight
As we have mentioned, chainguards are a protective element, and the goal is to keep their weight as low as possible so as not to increase the weight of the bicycle unnecessarily. That is why plastic chainguards are so common; German brands of chainguards for urban or city bicycles such as Hebie, SKS, or others like Horn, Rotor, or AXA, manufacture high-quality plastic chainguards and chainring guards.
There are also many protectors that focus only on the chainring, as many bicycle cranks have holes specially designed for the placement of such chainring guards, which allow for sufficient protection to avoid rubbing our pants in a comfortable and very simple way.
Classic chainguard
Without a doubt, the best way to give our bicycle a classic or vintage touch is to install a classic chainguard like those we have available at Biciclasica.com. We have generally specialized in a wide range of steel and aluminum chainguards for their functionality and their undeniable retro aesthetic. Our steel chainguards are manufactured in Italy in legendary bicycle spare parts factories and undoubtedly have that authentic vintage bicycle look.
The aluminum chainguards that we have for sale in our online store are very original and are manufactured in Taiwan, another cradle of modern cycling where the main components for mountain bikes or MTB are made. These original chainguards are, in addition to being resistant thanks to their special section, very light because they are made of aluminum.
