For a no-sticky-stuff option, LizardSkins makes a neoprene chainstay protector (in a couple of different colors and three different sizes*, depending on chainstay diameter) which wrap around the full chainstay and attach to themselves with a velcro strip. There's only blue and red on LS's site these days, but there used to be other colors. I've had a British racing green one (bronze green, in Raleigh lingo) that I got off eBay 10+ years ago; it's moved from one bike to another over the years. $11 MSRP.

Or heck, I have some hockey stick tape ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
