Product Information

Full details

The Lizard Skins Chainstay Protector is an essential accessory for mountain bikers and daily commuters looking to protect their bicycle frame from damage, chain slap, and wear. Designed specifically for smaller frame geometries with a circumference of 70-100mm, this protector provides reliable shock absorption and a clean look; however, users should measure their chainstay carefully before purchase to ensure the small size offers the correct fit for their specific frame tubing.

FAQs

Will this fit a carbon frame?

Yes, it is safe for carbon, aluminum, and steel frames as long as the circumference measurements are compatible.

How do I measure my chainstay for this product?

Use a flexible tailor's measuring tape to wrap around the thickest part of your chainstay to get the total circumference.

Is this protector machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash with mild soap and water and air dry to maintain the integrity of the non-slip material.

Can I use this on an e-bike?

Yes, provided the chainstay dimensions fall within the specified 70-100mm range.

Does this product affect shifting performance?

No, when installed correctly, it does not interfere with the movement of the chain or the operation of the derailleur.

Troubleshooting

The protector keeps sliding or rotating.

Clean both the inside of the protector and the frame with rubbing alcohol to remove oils, then ensure the fastener is pulled tight during installation.

The protector does not fit around my chainstay.

Verify that your frame's circumference is between 70mm and 100mm. If your frame is larger, you may need a medium or large variant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly reduces noise caused by chain slap
Prevents costly paint damage and frame scratches
Easy to install with a secure, non-slip fit
Weather-resistant material for year-round use

Cons

Not suitable for frames larger than 100mm circumference
Limited color options in the small size variant
Requires periodic cleaning to prevent grit accumulation underneath

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the flexible material. Simply clean your chainstay thoroughly with a degreaser to remove dirt, grease, and oil, then allow it to dry completely. Wrap the protector around the chainstay, aligning it so the bulk of the pad sits directly under the path of the chain, and fasten it securely.

Compatibility is strictly determined by your frame's circumference. Measure the thickest part of your chainstay before installing; if your frame falls outside the 70-100mm range, the protector may either overlap too much or fail to close. To maintain the product, occasionally remove the protector to clean away any dust or moisture trapped between the neoprene and the frame to prevent corrosion or grit-based scratching.
