Lizard Skins

Product Information

Some protectors will come with an extra piece if the chainstay protector is too, short but not all brands do this. The one we’re showcasing involves attaching a couple of rubber rings to the stay with zip-ties but you can also do something with padded 3M tape, an old inner tube or heat shrink. The first step to finding the right chainstay protector is to find out what length the chain guard needs to be to fit onto your bike. Size "S" fits my 2022 Giant Revolt 0 Alu Frame, it's a bit of a stretch but the next size up would have been too large. This product has wider velcro and a newer backing than its predecessor, intending to give it a stronger and easier installation.

Lizard Skins Neoprene Chainstay Protector | Tredz Bikes

Lizard Skins chainstay guards are the original, strongest and lightest protectors on the market since 1993. Some bikes come with transparent stickers that help to prevent chips but you should upgrade to a tougher product when you can. I like it because you can just make out the logo, there are no flashy outstanding colors, it just does it's job.

No worries about peeling at the edges like adhesive patches, no gaps to collect dirt as with neoprene sleeves. Though seemingly durable in the short term, whether it matches the Viking 3m polyurethane protective tape remains to be seen. The Lizard Skins frame protector is a clear protective strip of vinyl with a strong adhesive backing, designed to protect chainstays and other tubing from chain slap or damage from stones and the like. It is advisable that when you wash the bike or the chainstay the water can affect the adhesive badly.

As you will see in the chart below, the average chainstay length is very different depending on the type of bike you ride. The length of the chainstay protector is not fixed so it should be of that length that can conveniently cover the length of the chainstay. What I do know is that the Viking 3m (pictured below) can be cut to custom shapes, is better value in terms of length, and is also thicker. These custom clear vinyl kits are designed to fit specific frames and sizes, covering all the key areas where scuffs and scratches commonly occur.You might want to get your bike up to its best shape before heading to see The Northern Lights In Manitoba. As you can see in the image above, this bike has been ridden without an offside chainstay protector. Add some protection to your bike frame to stop it getting scratched or damaged with some bike frame protection like a chainstay protector. It is a one size fits all, stick-on chain stay strip, which is made from the same material that is used on frame protection kits.
