I used an old grip I found lying in the junkyard. Cut a length that fits nice and tight in the round part in the middle. Then I cut a + shape in the end of it (mine was one of em old school ones with a closed end). Then zip ties hold em on.
It dont hit my foot any more, and doesn't hit the chain.

Cool.

This is relevant to my interests...that damned stand hits my foot all the time. Thanks for the idea!

nice! I checked my chain thinking it was too loose..no it wasn't.

mine is barely hitting it.. but it was bugging me.
