The old A100 is getting new paint and I would like to know what others are using for chain covers. Present ones are just bike tubes that were cut to fit over the chains.

either those, or the dipped chains, that have the plastic coated links. dodge connection sells some tailgate chain kits.

If it works good, why not use it?

How about something made for swing sets? At least it would be made for outdoor use. Something like this: http://www.bigfitness.com/pg430p.html

If you want canvas, look for a piece of canvas irrigation hose or fire hose. In my experience, irrigation hose is closer size to what you'd need. Fire hoses now days are large diameter. Check your local fire company. They may have a piece of old hose you can look at or play with.
