I had just recieved a Dremel Tool as a Christmas gift, and I had an old pair of leather shoes laying around gathering dust.
After the dust cleared, I had this:
The toungue of the shoe is zip-tied to the fender, and I think it’s long enough to keep slop off the bottom bracket and chain.
Cringer seems to like it.
