User needs and Design Process

The goal of this project was to get a replacement part on my bike as fast as possible. My chain guide broke one day and I realized that I could just make my own chain guide and bash guard all in one to replace it. That way I wouldnt have to pay 100 dollars and I would have it the next day. I got a few of my mountain biking friends in on it and I made them test some as well.
