Mike Posted August 11, 2007 at 04:26 AM Report Posted August 11, 2007 at 04:26 AM I bought a new Chinese bike - it's fantastic to cycle slowly around the city. The chain guard just covers the top part of the chain. I now want to change this chain guard for a full chain guard, one that completely encloses the chain. How do I say "full chain guard", or something similar, in Chinese? Quote
Mike Posted August 11, 2007 at 11:14 AM Author Report Posted August 11, 2007 at 11:14 AM Even without a translation for 'chain guard', could I say something like... 因为这个东西太小了所以我想换换别的成套的... Any help appreciated. Quote
Quest Posted August 11, 2007 at 10:39 PM Report Posted August 11, 2007 at 10:39 PM One way to say it: 我想换一个链盖，你们有没有遮住整条链子的那种？ Quote

Mike Posted August 12, 2007 at 02:17 PM Author Report Posted August 12, 2007 at 02:17 PM Thanks Myriam, very useful. I don't own a Chinese grammar book at the moment - I must get one, perhaps in the Wangfujing Bookstore in Beijing. Quote
Mike Posted August 13, 2007 at 11:13 AM Author Report Posted August 13, 2007 at 11:13 AM That's okay Myriam, thanks for looking. I understand 'always' but still need to work on zhu4! Quote
