    I too am looking for one, one of the (presumably velcro) wraparound ones rather than a stick on one. I've seen loads of pictures of bikes with web addresses on, but not many for sale. The ones that come with the Scott Scales are cool. don't suppose you can buy these seperately?

    lizard skins do a good range.

    and try poping into your LBS they may just have a few.

    My Cube has a 'waved' shape chain stay too. Bought a std sized neoprene protector from my LBS and it went on Ok. A tad fiddly to get the velcro to line up properly but apart from that its fine

    Lizard Skins or Specialized.

    Alternatively - an old piece of innertube fixed using zip ties.

    I use the innertube and zip tie approach, it was going to be temporary until I could get to a shop for a 'proper' one, but ended up staying.

    I got a Lizard Skins chainstay protector off Ebay for a fiver including postage, it never moved at all but i did put a cable tie at each end to make sure though.

    I use tennis racquet handle or hockey stick handle wraps. Looks great and protects well.

    The chainstays on my bike have a "wavy" section for shoe clearance. I use a lizard skins protector and its fine.
