Universal Chain Wheel Cover for 48-Tooth Cranks

This black plastic guard fits 48-tooth chain wheels with a 10 cm pitch and five mounting holes. It shields the chain from scratches and stops clothing or feet from catching on the moving links. The cover measures 1.5 cm thick by 21.2 cm in diameter and comes with five 3 mm screws for attachment. Riders with a matching crankset can bolt it on in minutes.

Behaviour Under Continued Use

The plastic construction resists cracking during regular rides and holds its shape when the chain runs under steady pedalling force. Because the material is not easily broken, the guard maintains coverage over long distances without deforming. Mounting screws stay secure through vibration, so the protector does not shift or rattle. It delivers consistent chain protection ride after ride.

Limits of the Five-Hole Interface

Fitment depends entirely on the crank having exactly five holes spaced for a 48-tooth wheel at 10 cm pitch. Bikes with a different tooth count, bolt pattern or hole diameter cannot use this cover. The 3 mm screw size is fixed, so no alternative hardware will align. Buyers who need a guard for other chain wheel sizes or bolt configurations must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 48-tooth cover make any noise or add drag when I ride all day?

The plastic guard simply bolts onto the chain wheel with five 3 mm screws and has no moving parts, so it adds no audible noise or measurable drag during extended rides.

What must my crank already have for the five-hole pattern to line up?

Your existing chain wheel needs a 48-tooth ring with a 10 cm pitch circle and five mounting holes spaced for 3 mm bolts.

Will the 1.5 cm thick guard clear my older front derailleur cage?

At 1.5 cm thick and 21.2 cm diameter the cover sits just outside the chain ring, leaving the same derailleur clearance you had before installation.
