chain guard and spoke replacement

timothy douma said:

Another Gazelle question here: I have to replace two spokes on the rear
wheel of my gazelle. It's a 3 speed internal gears, hub brake set up.
It is also a fully enclosed chainguard made of some plasticy fabric
material with a snap that can be opened...but which does not seem to
allow me to remove the chain guard. With that vague description, does
anyone hae any advice? Of course, the broken spokes are on the drive side.

Remove wheel. Pop off the retaining ring to the cog with a
screwdriver. Remove cog. Replace spoke. True wheel. Install cog and
retaining ring. Remember to curse.

LOL! But what about the mandatory scratch over the knuckles?

It is difficult to say, because there a a so many types of chainguards.
Posting a picture will help.

That's how you know when to curse.

We're back to discussing trebouchets and hammer handles?

Dutch chainguards show a broad range of creativity and ingenuity. Some
have clips on the ends, some have plastic snap-in plates on the inside
of the curves, some have a screw at the top rear, some use a long skewer
to engage both sets of wire loops almost like a zipper. For every rule
there are multiple exceptions so you'll need to look more closely.
