Wheels Manufacturing Chainstay Protector Kit

The kit includes 10 strips that are 10.375 inches long, which provides enough length to accommodate most standard chainstay geometries. Because the material is adhesive and flexible, you can easily trim the strips with scissors if your chainstay is shorter or has a unique shape.

This protector is designed primarily to prevent cosmetic damage like scratches and paint chips from chain slap and debris. While it provides a durable barrier, it is a thin, low-profile film, so it will not dampen chain noise as effectively as a thick rubber or neoprene guard.

For the best results, thoroughly clean your chainstay with isopropyl alcohol to remove all grease, dirt, and wax before application. Once the surface is completely dry, apply the film and press firmly from the center outward to eliminate any air bubbles.

Yes, the adhesive is designed to be safe for most bicycle frame finishes. If you need to remove or replace the film, gently heating it with a hair dryer will soften the adhesive, making it easier to peel off without leaving residue or pulling up the paint.

The material is engineered to be durable and resistant to environmental factors, but like most clear adhesive films, it may show slight discoloration after prolonged exposure to intense UV rays and harsh weather. However, it generally maintains its clarity well throughout a typical riding season.
