Hey

I am looking for a cool chainstay protector.

I know there are the normal lizard skins and DMR... Yawnnnn

I am looking for something cool, maybe one with a canadian flag on it, or just something out of the norm.

Can anyone sugest anything.

Yes I have a lizard skin now, and its too small, just wondering if thats all they sell, or am I looking in the wrong places.

Thanks guys

    With regards to your exising lizzard skin being too small they do a jumbo size version, it's what I required after trying a normal size one due to the kinks in my chainstay - got mine off eBay

    +1 for old inner tube. They are so damned useful. Great for covering commuter frames too, stops them getting chipped about on the train by other peoples pedals.

    I reckon the old inner tube works better than the lizard skins ones. If you want a cool logo you could get a supersonic tube and get the logo on the outside- "check it out, supersonic chainstay!" Or match the tube to your preferred tyres. Mine probably says "Tescos 1.5-2.1"

    Hey

    Thanks guys.

    I have the lizard skin one thats jumbo.

    It didnt fit my scott nor my focus and they are not big frames.

    The jumbo one I have is sitting at 3 inches, 75mm.

    Seen a nice lezyne one on chain reaction.

    Not up for the tube, I am a weight wennie and a bike pimper, yes I will admit it. :lol:
