I found the chromo dsg like the S&M or daily grinds where a fair bit thinner than any of the alloy/plastic dsg's.
Yeah I kinda figured that might be my best option. The S&M is nice but kinda $$ and I always liked the Daily Grind's. Also cool to support a smaller company/Ryan Howard. Hmmm
For me, I took the locknut off the non-drive side of my hub and just put the guard on. The frame holds everything together so that locknut isn't really missed. I've been running my KHE ACB with no locknut for about 2 years.
Other option is to put your dropouts over the outside of a bench vice and slowly open the vice. This will widen the rear a bit. Do it in small amounts ie flex it out and then loosen again before flexing it out a bit further etc.
That is an option but I'm kinda sketched to stretch out a new frame. Also when I have to remove my wheel with flats etc, I'm assuming it'll still be kinda tough to remove. As for removing the locknut, that doesn't sound bad but I also already have a little play in my coaster :/
Try one of the new glands if they're out yet?
I prefer traditional-style guards, but those do look quite nice over the old ones. Or even the merrit ones dropping
Kink or S&M dsgs are thinner and better in pretty much every conceivable way. The Kink especially, as there is no mucking about with guard and chain akwardness, it just slides right in.
Ooh I forgot about the Kink one. Always thought they looked kinda thicker than S&M/DG, but I do like the ease of how it just slides in. Always hated trying to install/remove bent up alloy Primo ones
Thanks for the replies guys. Kind of feeling the Kink or the DG dsg now... Not sure which would be a better option
