get a chainstay guard. Or don't go over bumps.

What bike is it?

Wrap an old innertube round the chainstay.

You can tell hes a beginner, because he can not even spell write in the topic title.

Lizardskins are the best imo

I'd just fire on an old inner tube if you're tight for cash.

I put in write, so it is a bit of a pun.

I heard that if you use an inner tube it is bad for the frame, because it can't breathe, or something.
Thats why Lizardskins are good because they allow the chainstay to breathe.
I read this somewhere, but I dont know if its true

just make sure you get a big enough one, i got the jumbo thinking it would be a nice fit, took me about 10 mins to get the damn thing on it was that tight
