Full details
The BBB BBP-12 StayGuard Chainstay Protector is designed for cyclists who want to prevent cosmetic damage to their bike's chainstay caused by chain slap. Its primary benefit is robust protection against scratches and scuffs, ensuring your frame maintains its finish. A potential consideration is its one-size-fits-most design, which may require adjustment for very specific frame shapes. Key features include durable neoprene construction, a secure Velcro fastening system, and an anti-slip interior.

FAQs
What material is the StayGuard made from?
The StayGuard is made from a durable, flexible polyester-based neoprene.
How long is the StayGuard chainstay protector?
The protector has a length of 250 mm.
Is this protector suitable for all types of bikes?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with most standard bicycle chainstays found on road, mountain, gravel, and hybrid bikes due to its adjustable strap.
How do I clean the StayGuard?
You can hand wash it with mild soap and cool water. Ensure it is completely air-dried before reattaching it to your bike.
Will this protector stop chain noise?
While its primary function is protection, the cushioning effect of the neoprene can help reduce some of the noise associated with chain slap.
Can I leave the StayGuard on permanently?
It is recommended to remove the protector periodically for cleaning to prevent dirt and moisture buildup between the protector and the frame.
What is the benefit of the anti-slip interior?
The anti-slip interior helps to keep the chainstay pad firmly in place, preventing it from rotating or slipping down the chainstay during your ride.
Troubleshooting
StayGuard slips or moves during riding.
Ensure the chainstay is clean and dry before attachment. Tighten the Velcro strap more securely. Check if the anti-slip interior is clear of debris. For very thin chainstays, consider adding a small layer of grip tape under the protector.
Velcro strap does not hold securely.
Clean the Velcro hooks and loops to remove dirt or lint that may be preventing a strong connection. If the Velcro is worn out, replacement may be necessary.
Protector seems too short/long for the chainstay.
The 250mm length is standard. For longer chainstays, ensure the overlap is still sufficient. For shorter chainstays, wrap it as tightly as possible and trim excess strap material if necessary and possible without compromising the fastening.
