Lizard Skins Chainstay Protectors
Best durable frame protection for mountain bikers seeking a quiet ride.
This is the simplest insurance policy for your bike’s frame, silencing the annoying clatter of chain slap on rough descents. While it lacks the sleek, invisible profile of adhesive frame tape, its heavy-duty neoprene construction offers far superior impact absorption that actually lasts through seasons of abuse.
