Do roadies do this?
Put on protectors for the chain stays? I'm just wondering if it's politically correct to protect the chain stay on a roadie. 
I'm still going to put one on. Just curious what most roadies do.

mine came with something on the chain stays... i dont' really get it and wouldn't have thought to put something there on my own. I'd guess it's more unnecessary than anti-OCP... actually, I suppose being unnecessary makes it a better candidate for OCP status ;p

I got lazy and bought a lizard skin to go with my new bike.
Electrical tape works well actually.

Naw, ...you'll be good. I would'nt worry too much about an OCP officer having a problem with that!
........but then again, you never know.
