Can anyone recommend a good stick on chain stay protector for a carbon Chain stay and maybe where to get it?

Thanks

duct tape.

Err... But if there are decals and it's not clear coated... Then :eek:

I know my bike came with a clear chain stay protector on it already from Trek. This always made me thought most bikes would come with it.

Check out the Sette chain stay protectors on pricepoint.
I've never used them, but they are cheap enough to try out. I want the clear frame protector for where cables rub.
If you buy them, would you be so kind to send me by postal mail 2 small sheets? Shipping those is worth a lot more than the product itself!
I'll send you a self addressed envelope if you'd like!

Take a gander at the leather/faux carbon chainstay protector from Lizard Skins. Kinda funky. http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/15588-075_LIZCL6-0-Search--/Lizard-Skins-Carbon-Leather-Chainstay-Protector.htm

I'm more concerned about dropping a chain on a carbon BB/chainstay. Anybody know of something to protect that area? The tape style protector stuff would probably be to wimpy for this area. I know a manufacturer (Trek or Giant?) actually molds in a metal plate to protect this area from chain drop damage.

I use the Lizard Skins neorprene covers on my MTB and my non-chromed steel Bianchi. Works great.

I use a Velo faux carbon (http://www.velosaddles.com/products_listing.php?cat_id=21) chainstay protector with an adhesive backing. $7.90 from Glory Cycles (http://www.glorycycles.com/veca3mchpr.html).
