Right Chainstay Plate
On mountain or road bikes, the chainstay plate
is located on the right chainstay just behind the
chainrings. This plate protects the carbon
(composite) chainstay from damage in the event the
chain is dropped from the chainring.

Downtube Protector
On mountain bikes, placement on the down tube
protector on the downtube reduces the potential for
damage caused by debris thrown by the wheel. For
some bikes, the protector is a tted adhesive backed
material. Some bike models may have light weight
plastic formed guards.

Chainstay Protector
On mountain or road bikes, the chainstay protector
is a clear, adhesive lm applied to the upper surface
of the right chainstay. This protector can prevent
damage to the chainstay caused by the chain.
On mountain bikes, a wrap-around or snap on type
protector can be installed as additional protection.
