(c) I have no chain guard as the bracket on my bike is &#8220;the wrong type&#8221; due to the bike having been manufactured over 10 years ago (even though I bought it &#8220;new&#8221; less than 2 years ago). This means that Raleigh will need to send a new bracket but can&#8217;t guarantee delivery in less than 6 months! (I&#8217;m wondering why the bike shop couldn&#8217;t have just drilled a hole on the guard in the right place for the current bracket.)
