'Good chainstay protector.'

Strengths:
Does the job, protects chainstays, easy to clean and looks good too.

Weaknesses:
Bit overprice for what it actually is: a bit of neoprene.

Overall:
Worth buying.

'it works'

Strengths:
protects your chainstay, stops rattling

Weaknesses:
a bit awkward to fit on fat chainstays, expensive, collects mud.

Overall:
It does work and it looks a hell of a lot neater than a zip tied innertube.

'NECESSARY FOR EVERY BIKE'

Strengths:
Stopped chainstay getting chipped,
looks cool

Weaknesses:
Price,
Only just fits on my frame (merlin malt 1)

Overall:
my chainstay was getting quite a few chips and dents so bought a jumbo model, only just fits on my merlin frame. Think it looks cool, adds colour to your bike. every bike should have one.

'DOES THE JOB'

Strengths:
Fits on snugly (with a bit of scissor work to get round the rear mech cable stop). Looks nice if you get a matching colour.

Weaknesses:
Pricey compared to a few turns of self-amalgamating tape. Will probably need fettling to make it fit (as above).

Overall:
Oh, why not?

'FIT AND FORGET REALLY'

Strengths:
Seems pretty durable, have had it about a year now.
Easy to fit.

Weaknesses:
Will get thieved by skanky little chavs so vip tie it down.
Really expensive for what is actually is, they give them away with MBUK, MBR etc.

Overall:
Fit and forget, it does its job and looks rather smart if you get one to match the rest of the trimmings etc on your rig.
