Hi Don & All,

Don sent this web page: http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~gillies/raleigh/Raleigh_79_Larger/79_01_pro_superbe.jpg

The first picture shows a Camy chain ring protector (not the cog set protector). I have a Raleigh Pro and it too has a Campy chain ring protector. Are these rare? Were they to protect the chain from derailing or from getting grease on the pants?

Thanks,

Paul
