Product Information

Full details

The Lizard Skins Neoprene Chainstay Protector is designed for mountain bike enthusiasts and cyclists looking to protect their bike frames from chain slap damage and debris-related wear. Featuring high-quality, durable neoprene construction, this accessory effectively absorbs impact and preserves your bike's finish; however, it is specifically sized for frames with a circumference of 125mm to 140mm, so you must measure your frame before purchase to ensure a proper fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this fit a slim road bike frame?

No, this specific 'Large' model is designed for frames with a circumference of 125-140mm, which is too wide for most standard road bike chainstays.

How do I measure my chainstay?

Use a flexible tailor's measuring tape to wrap around the thickest part of your chainstay to determine the circumference in millimeters.

Is this waterproof?

Neoprene is water-resistant, but the protector can absorb water in heavy rain or deep mud, so it should be removed and dried if it becomes soaked.

Can I wash the protector in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the protector with mild soap and water to preserve the integrity of the heavy-duty stitching.

Does this protect against chain suck?

It provides a barrier against chain slap and debris, but it is not specifically designed to prevent chain suck, which usually requires drivetrain tuning.

Troubleshooting

Protector slides or rotates on the frame

Ensure the chainstay is free of grease or oil before installation; if it still moves, verify that your frame circumference falls within the 125-140mm range.

Accumulation of dirt underneath

Remove the protector periodically, wipe the chainstay clean, and ensure the interior of the neoprene is brushed off before re-wrapping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent absorption of chain slap noise and impact
  • Highly durable stitching prevents premature wear
  • Lightweight construction adds minimal bulk
  • Effective at preventing scratches and cosmetic frame damage

Cons

  • Size is specific to 125-140mm circumference frames
  • Not suitable for slim road bike chainstays
  • Neoprene can collect dust and mud over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the chainstay area is clean and dry. Wrap the protector tightly around the frame, aligning it so the stitching faces downward or inward toward the wheel to keep the profile sleek. The velcro-style attachment (or snug wrap design) allows for a firm hold. For care, wipe down the neoprene with a damp cloth after muddy rides to remove debris. If the protector becomes heavily soiled, remove it and hand wash with mild soap, allowing it to air dry completely before reinstallation to prevent moisture buildup against the frame.
