PART 2
Applying Frame Protection
Section F.
GT Bicycle Owner’s Manual
CAUTION
Over time, cable rubbing can wear into the
frame itself causing very serious frame
damage.
Check over your bike after your first few
rides. Apply the guard material where
rubbing is found. When applied correctly
and renewed when worn, the guard material
is good protection for your bike.
Right Chainstay Plate
On mountain or road bikes, the chainstay plate
(1) is located on the right chainstay (2) just
behind the chainrings (3). This plate protects
the carbon (composite) chainstay from damage
in the event the chain is dropped from the
chainring.
Figure 25.
Downtube Protector
On mountain bikes, placement on the down tube
protector (1) on the downtube (2) reduces the
potential for damage caused by debris thrown by
the wheel. For some bikes, the protector is a
fitted adhesive backed material. Some bike
models may have light weight plastic formed
guards.
