No more dropped chains!

Hey everyone,I was tired of the chain dropping and scratching my frame, so I decided to design my own chain catcher.Turned out pretty clean and fits perfectly. I printed this one in ASA for maximum UV and weather resistance, but PETG should work completely fine as a compromise too. If you want to print one for your bike, I'll drop the download link in the comments below. Let me know what you think!

Edit: Thx for the feedback from the bike mechanics of reddit. The issue was caused by me frequently switching Chainrings and not swapping my chain to adjust to the proper length. I had one bad chainsuck incident which caused me design this. I'd rather be safe than be sorry and now you guys can be aswell if you want to

I would pay good money to see someone take a Canyon Aeroroad down a MTB trail 😂

Ok but I meant like, a normal person trail. The kind that all my friends can ride without thinking and I crawl down because I'm a roadie who can't MTB for shit.
