Additional Details
Steel Construction:
- The 12 Lowrider Chain Guard is made from durable steel, providing solid protection for the chain and bike frame. Steel is a popular choice for lowrider bike parts because of its strength and longevity. It also ensures that the chain guard can withstand the wear and tear of regular use.
W/Line Style:
- The W/Line style refers to the design of the chain guard, which typically features a subtle linear pattern or raised detailing along its surface. This design adds a stylish and clean look to the guard, enhancing the aesthetic of the bike. It aligns with the classic lowrider style, offering both functionality and decorative appeal.
Chrome Finish:
- The chain guard comes with a chrome-plated finish, which adds a sleek and shiny appearance. The chrome not only makes the bike look more polished but also helps protect the steel from corrosion and rust. A chrome finish is a hallmark of lowrider culture, giving the bike an upscale, custom look.
Bike Size Fitment:
- Designed specifically for 12-inch bicycles, this chain guard fits smaller-sized bikes, which are common in lowrider builds for kids or for display purposes. Its dimensions ensure a proper fit and complete coverage of the bike’s chain, protecting it from dirt and debris.
Overall Length:
- The chain guard measures 11 1/2 inches in total length, providing sufficient coverage to protect both the chain and rider’s leg from contact with the moving parts. This length is ideal for smaller lowrider bikes, covering the essential sections without overpowering the bike’s compact frame.
Hole to Hole Length:
- The hole-to-hole length is 8 inches, referring to the distance between the mounting holes where the chain guard is attached to the bike frame. This ensures a precise fit on compatible 12-inch lowrider bikes. The mounting holes allow for easy installation, securing the guard in place without any hassle.
Protective Functionality:
- The primary purpose of the chain guard is to shield the bike’s chain and prevent the rider’s clothing or body from getting caught in the moving chain. It also protects the chain from dirt, debris, and other contaminants, helping to extend the life of the chain by keeping it clean and lubricated.
Chrome Aesthetic:
- Chrome is a highly sought-after finish in the lowrider community, and this chain guard’s chrome coating helps the bike stand out. The reflective surface of chrome adds a custom and luxurious feel to the bike, especially when paired with other chrome parts like handlebars, fenders, and sissy bars.
Vintage Lowrider Brand:
- Vintage Lowrider is a reputable brand known for its high-quality lowrider bike parts. They specialize in retro-inspired designs that capture the essence of classic lowrider culture, making their components highly desirable for both custom builds and restoration projects.
Easy Installation:
- The chain guard is designed to be easy to install, with pre-drilled mounting holes that align with the bike’s frame. It can be attached using basic tools, and the installation process is straightforward. Once secured, the guard provides both protection and a polished look.
Lowrider Customization:
- This chain guard is perfect for those who want to customize their lowrider bike with chrome accessories. The W/Line design adds subtle detailing that complements other custom parts, giving the bike a cohesive, stylish look. It's an excellent addition to any custom lowrider build, especially for smaller 12-inch bikes.
Maintenance:
- The chrome-plated steel can be maintained by regularly cleaning it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. This helps prevent tarnishing or buildup of dirt on the chrome surface. Occasional polishing can restore its shine and keep it looking new.
Compatibility:
- Specifically designed for 12-inch lowrider bicycles, this chain guard is compatible with smaller frames, often used in youth bikes or show bikes. It can also be a unique addition to custom lowrider projects that prioritize both style and function.
