WTB: Riv silver chainring guard?

[Michael Morrissey]

Anyone holding one? They've been out of stock for a while.

It comes in three sizes.  Do you care which size it is?  

I know I ended up with a steel 38T chainring when setting up my tandem, and maybe I ended up with the 38T "size" of the guard, but maybe I used it on another build, or maybe I sold it.  I will go look, but if you want something other than a 38 I won't bother.

In reference to Bill's question, you'll want to match guard size pretty close to chainring size unless it's a singlespeed or IGH drivetrain. I discovered the expensive way the Riv guard sits very close to the ring and the chain will rub it in the small/hardest rear cog on a derailer bike if the guard is notably bigger than the chainring..say 42t guard/36t ring. So there's that!

I have one that seems to match up well with a 38.  It is too small for a 42.
