Troubleshooting

Ensure the chainstay surface is completely clean, dry, and free of oils or residues before application. Reapply pressure firmly.
Air bubbles are visible under the shield.
Carefully lift the edge of the shield and reapply, smoothing it out from the center towards the edges. For persistent bubbles, a pinprick can sometimes release trapped air.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively prevents scratches and impacts on the chainstay.
- Self-healing properties extend the shield's lifespan.
- Easy to install and remove without leaving residue.
- Maintains the bike's original appearance due to its invisible nature.
- Durable and long-lasting protection.
Cons
- Single piece design may require careful alignment for full coverage.
- May not fit all chainstay shapes perfectly due to its fixed dimensions.
- Requires careful application to avoid air bubbles or misplacement.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the chainstay area thoroughly to remove all dirt and grease.
- Peel the backing paper from the Bike Shield Stay Shield.
- Carefully align the shield with the chainstay and apply it smoothly, working from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
- Press down firmly to ensure good adhesion.
Compatibility:
This shield is designed for use on bicycle chainstays. Its 25x3.8cm dimensions are suitable for most standard chainstay shapes. For very oversized or unusually shaped chainstays, test fitment before full application.
Care:
Clean the shield with mild soap and water as part of your regular bike cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the protective coating. The self-healing properties work best on minor abrasions; deep cuts may not fully repair.
