    you shouldnt really need one.

    If you do want one though, you could go for any standard chainstay protector (stick on type) and fit it to the underside of your swing arm. Or, a lot of people use insulation tape wrapped around it - this isnt the best if you want a pretty bike though!

    I was thinking along the lines of one of the off-the-shelf neoprene/canvas type things that wrap around the chainstay.

    I'm just conscious that the Orange 5 chainstay is very wide, therefore was hoping somebody in BikeRadar-land could recommend one they know fit's properly without the need for additional bodges...

    I know I don't specifically need a protector, just gets a bit noisy with the chain slapping around :-)

    Cheers
