For the Veloretti Ace & Ivy and other e-bikes
Leave in flares. Arrive in flares.
There's one narrow gap where the belt feeds into the chainring, and wide-leg pants find it every time. The FlareGuard closes it. Matte black, tucked into the frame line, on in two minutes.
The problem
Your chainring has expensive taste.
On a belt drive, the belt runs straight into the chainring, and right at that point there's a narrow gap. A wide or flared leg finds it every single time — and you get home with a grease stripe up one leg, a shredded hem, or a jolt through the pedals that nearly puts you down.
- Your hem slips under the belt and gets pulled in
- Grease and wear marks on the pair you actually like
- A dead stop, mid-intersection
The solution
So we closed the gap.
The FlareGuard bridges belt and chainring with one smooth, closed surface. Your pant leg rides over the top instead of down into the works. That's the whole product.
The product
Designed to disappear.

Why it works
Nobody will notice it. That took a while.
Cut for the Ace & Ivy
Modeled around the Gates Carbon Drive and the Bafang crank. No play, no rattle, no zip ties — it sits like it left the factory that way.
Hides in the frame line
Matte black and tight to the tubing. From the sidewalk you'd never spot it. Up close is where you see the work.
Rain, salt and winter
A tough polymer that shrugs off road grit. Light enough to forget it's on there, solid enough to leave on year-round.
Two screws, two minutes
Nothing comes apart, nothing goes to the shop. Own a screwdriver? Then you own the whole job.
Installation
Two screws.
Done.
Nothing to take apart, no appointment to book, no bike shop involved. If you can hold a screwdriver, the FlareGuard is on before your coffee goes cold.
- 01
Hold it in place
Rest the guard against the mounting point beside the chainring. It finds its own position — you'll feel it drop in.
- 02
Snug the two screws
Tighten them down, spin the pedals once to be sure nothing rubs, and go. That's the entire job.
Compatibility
Will it fit your bike?
The FlareGuard is built around belt drives running the Gates Carbon Drive CDX. Not sure which version you're on? Send us a photo and we'll tell you straight.
Heads up: newer Veloretti models use a wider guard ring with cutouts around the chainring. The FlareGuard doesn't fit that one yet — when you order, two photos show you which one you're looking at.
Cowboy and Tenways are next on the bench — leave your model and you'll hear from us the day it's ready.
