Product Information
Full details
The Lezyne Chainstay Protector is designed for mountain bikers and trail riders seeking a quiet drivetrain and frame protection. By acting as a durable barrier against chain slap, it prevents unsightly chips and scratches on your bicycle frame while keeping noise to a minimum. The primary caveat is its fixed size of 180x250 mm, which may require careful measurement to ensure compatibility with your specific frame geometry before purchase.

FAQs
Does this protector fit all bicycle types?
It is primarily designed for mountain bikes. Given its 180x250 mm dimensions, it is best suited for standard chainstay sizes; always measure your frame before purchasing.
Can I leave the protector on while washing my bike?
While it is durable, it is recommended to remove it periodically to clean the area underneath the protector, as dirt and grit can accumulate between the guard and the frame.
Is the material waterproof?
Neoprene is water-resistant and suitable for all-weather riding, though it will hold water if submerged; ensure it is dried properly after wet rides.
Will this protect against cable rub?
Yes, the neoprene material is effective at preventing cable rub damage on the frame as well as chain slap.
What is the best way to secure it for a tight fit?
Ensure the rubberized side is placed against the frame and pull the Velcro straps taut to ensure the rubber pattern makes full contact with the frame tube.
Troubleshooting
Protector slides down the frame
Remove the protector, clean the chainstay thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease, and re-apply, ensuring the Velcro is pulled as tight as possible.
Velcro is collecting debris
Use a stiff brush or a needle to remove trapped trail debris from the hook side of the Velcro to ensure a strong, long-term bond.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable, puncture-resistant material
- Stays firmly in place due to rubberized interior
- Easy to clean via machine washing
- Significantly dampens drivetrain noise
Cons
- Large size (180x250 mm) might not fit smaller frames
- May require occasional tightening of Velcro straps
- Limited to specific frame geometry constraints
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure the chainstay is clean and free of grease before applying the protector. Wrap the neoprene around the stay, positioning the rubberized side against the frame, and secure it firmly with the Velcro straps.
Compatibility: This protector measures 180x250 mm. Before purchase, measure the length and circumference of your bike's chainstay to ensure the dimensions provide full coverage without interfering with gear cable routing.
Care: To clean, remove the protector from the frame and place it in a laundry bag. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry to maintain the integrity of the Velcro and the neoprene fabric.
