February 13, 2019

Is it time for a new sprocket? Looking for something that has a guard, but you want the option to run a regular sprocket, too?

Along with that comes a replaceable injection molded, high impact nylon Havoc Guard that is held in place by 4 bolts, giving you extra protection if you’re putting a lot of work in on rails and ledges.

The Palmere Guard Sprocket comes in Black, Matte Red and Tumbled Aluminum with a black guard for $49.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Fiend worldwide now. You can also pick up replacement guards for $11.99 if you burn through it.
