Bought a cheap set of 5800 hubs > TB14s for the Space Horse so I can put my ~1500 gram BikeHubStore.com > Archetype wheels on the MX Leader. $200 shipped off of VeloMine.

One of these. Because I'd given up looking for one after searching for years. Then stumbled across this UK seller.
$5.39 including shipping from the UK to Idaho.

C'mon guys. Pretty obviously it's the chainstay protector. I too have found it difficult to find them.

He got "One of these."
What's the matter with you people? Can't you read?
Lack of specificity should never be used as an excuse for your own inability to understand. How do you think they came up with things like "Weapons of mass destruction" and "Climate Change"?

1. My maintenance and adjustments are perfect. The chain will never fall off. 
2. The bike is powder coasted and can withstand anything the chain can throw it's way.
All joking aside, it's just a silly decoration. It's a SS so there's no chain slap to begin with. And I assume that it's mostly useless as it's just a vinyl decal mimicking chrome. I'm guessing a thrown chain would chew it right up.
