• Long trousers are one of the reasons why they are a good idea, the reason why they are not optional is that the legal standard for "City and trekking" bikes is different from the one for racing bikes. The racing bike standard says that chain guards are not normally fitted to racing bikes, but then defines the parameters if they are. The city and trekking bike standard says a chain guard must be fitted and then defines the same parameters. Spotter's home build doesn't have to conform to the standard but does, PX's OTP bike should conform to the standard but doesn't.

  • the problem is, i think you're the only person who cares.

    Isn't that to do mostly with this "standard" being in place before narrow wide rings were a thing anyway?
