Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

chainstay protector recommendations?

this is kinda embarrassing...

but i JUST noticed that my tt/tri bike has a chainstay protector but my roadbike and cross bike do not. sadly, my roadbike has several scratches on the right chainstay probably from the chain slapping down against it.

does everyone use chainstay protectors? if so, what do you guys recommend?

i really like the one that came on my cervelo p2c. where can i get one of these for my other two bikes?

Go to your local sign shop (the place that makes vinyl die-cuts that go on trucks) and get some clear, or whatever color, vinyl stock. You can cut it to fit and it sticks really well. It's cheap too.

How is clear packing tape ghetto? You can also cut it to fit and it sticks really well, and it's cheap.
