Rear chain block/stay/guide fingy?
Permalink  
 

 Stopped on a ride today and noticed there was no rear chain block/guide/stay fingy. Bolts up at the rear of the swingarm. Am I tempting death by running without it, does anyone have one in Orstraya mate. There is one in the USA on Ebay for around $37Au delivered but prefer to keep things local, if anyone has a spare and could throw it up on Ebay I would much appreciate it. PM or reply if you are able to help.

My understanding is that the lower chain guide's main function is to stop the chain de-railing which could cause a bit of a mess if you were moving quickly at the time!

I doubt it matters on the tarmac but, if you are riding offroad, there is always a chance that a stone or twig could get thrown up and de-rail the chain. 

My view is that anyone offroading the TTR ought to have one fitted.

Make sure you get the right one as there are two types with different swing arm fittings.

Some pics here.

Thanks for the two/three bolt difference heads up, might have missed that. I only ride on tarmac to get to the dirt so I guess I better get one. And a chain breaker? Maybe not, looks like they seperate, hope so.
