Tue Sep 10 17:02:02 UTC 2024: ## Simple Derailleur Guard Offers Extra Protection for Mountain Bikers
Mountain bikers are always looking for ways to improve their ride, and the Parrier Derailleur Guard is a simple, affordable option for protecting your derailleur from damage. This small, plastic fin, which costs just €29, deflects mud, rocks, and sticks, keeping your derailleur safe from harm.
The Parrier Derailleur Guard is inspired by the “flappy-slappy” Branchy derailleur guard, but offers a more robust and heavy-duty solution. Its impact-resistant design and internal stiffening structures effectively protect your derailleur, one of the most expensive and mechanically complex components on your bike.
The Derailleur Guard attaches easily to your chainstay with 3M VHB adhesive and zip ties. Its curved design helps deflect debris, protecting your derailleur from damage. The Parrier Derailleur Guard is available in black, orange, turquoise, and olive and measures 27cm long x 10cm tall. It weighs only 85g and is designed to fit most bikes, including trail, all-mountain, gravel, cyclocross, enduro, DH, and e-bikes.
While some argue that the derailleur is becoming obsolete technology, the Parrier Derailleur Guard offers a simple and affordable way to protect your existing derailleur from damage. This low-cost solution is perfect for riders who want an extra layer of protection on gnarly trails or those who have experienced derailleur damage in the past.
