That's a lot of work.

Does someone make a chain cover that can be used while riding?

Thanks,

I think one could be made even for a derailleur equipped bike. It'd be a two-pieces unit. I do think that fully enclosed derailleur chainguard would be pretty noisy.

I am sure there are ways to keep in quiet.

Rubber lined maybe ?

I just realized that my first chain stretched enuf in 2 years to require replacing.

I was thinking that a completely enclosed derailleur system chain-case would be like having a drum and the noise of the chain/derailleurs would be amplified. It'd be an interesting experiment to make one.
