All the bits have arrived now and the SPA stuff looks (and feels) like real quality.
Hopefully fit it tonight.

If the guard works as an extra alu ring and there is no space for it, you may be able to cut or trim it, to accommodate the crank. I may be able to take a photo of such an arrangement later in the day, if this is indeed the issue.Anyone got around this? I don't actually mind it not being there, I don't think I've ever ridden my Brompton with jeans on, but wondered if anyone had solved this.
Even with longer chainring bolts and washers, I don't think there'd be enough space to fit it inside the spider as I think it would push the chainring too far inboard.
It does, yes.If the guard works as an extra alu ring and there is no space for it, you may be able to cut or trim it, to accommodate the crank. I may be able to take a photo of such an arrangement later in the day, if this is indeed the issue.
I have a Spa Cycles chainring and i bought the matching chain guard.Look no further than Spa Cycles. Top men.

You can make your own from older, larger rings. I made mine from a used one from a bike shop. You can snap off the teeth or cut them off. It does take some file work, cutting and grinding. I can take a picture of mine if you are interested.
I wouldn't mind seeing your solutions...
I've not yet come up with a way to make it work - though in fairness, after the original attempt, I lost interest.
But I am experiencing the chain jumping off. Normally when changing down from 5th to 4th. Maybe the chain does need a couple of links removing to keep a little more tension on it.
Sounds somewhat pointlessIt would fit on with the guard inboard of the ring.
