Are you running a single ring at the front as this wont work with a double setup? Also, does it have ISCG tabs on the frame? If it doesn't have the tabs it wont fit. If you have a double set up, you need something like a blackspire stinger with a bb mount. They cost £20-£25.

You wont find a chain device for a triple setup unfortunately. You could get one to work on a double but that would mean losing the outer chainring. If you haven't been dropping the chain I wouldn't bother.

Look at this: http://www.g-junkies.de/dreist.html. 3Ring chain device with bash. I did not try it (and dont need it) but its supposed to work well.

Intrigued by that triple ring device.  They even show it with something that looks like a bash over the outer ring.
Damn. I feel silly now with my inadequate double & bash. Roll Eyes

yes then you  "can all 3 chain sheets use"
but will you get one with or without the "skirt ring" Grin

reckon you could probably knock something similar up in a shed - its only a couple of jockey wheels and some plastic Wink
