CS protectors are mostly for the cosmetic scratches and chain slap chips. I've seen enough Trek stainless CS protectors that were gauged and torn up after a serious chain suck incident and didn't prevent some carbon damage to believe they do their claimed job well. So I would rather trust my good skills at shifting to keep from damaging my frame then relying on a lightweight thing that is weaker than the underlying carbon is. Andy
