Hi,

Could anyone tell me which diameter DogFang I need for a C50?

I got a 31.8 for a c40 and it was too small, so I cutted it and fixed
with a (long) zip tie. Works well!
I think c50 tubes are fatter.

Dear Jay,

A plastic circle tightened around the lower seat tube with a
curved fang-like protrusion that is turned until it's almost
touching the smallest front sprocket--keeps the chain from
falling off the top and down onto the bottom bracket:

The picture shows how the protrusion looks like a dog's
fang.

Thanks. A) A google search of DogFang didn't give the right answer, but
Dog Fang does. B) I thought I knew Sheldon's site better.
