cutting board???

[TUG]

hi guys, i was told that using a nylon cutting board as a chain guide is a good way to stop the chain eating your swinger when the rubber one has died and you cant find any anywhere.
would you suggest i dont do this? or give it a try?
whats your views? has anyone done this?

I've never done it,but it does sound like a good idea as long as the ends were tapered.

Nylon works fine and tougher than the std rubber. It's easy to cut drill and machine to size but will show up the dirt a lot more!!

I'm confident that that idea should work well. Nylon is inherantly self-lubricating and pretty hard wearing. The side chain guide on my KLE is made of a similar material.
