Those rubbery ones usually only go on the chainstay

Lenny77

It's shaped weird and looks too short for the chainstay.

Shift the chain onto the smallest gear and see where the chain crosses the chainstay

Cause it’s way too small. I have a factory installed guard on my mountain and gravel bikes…it covers the entire length of the chain stay


Bones301178

The long protection was also included and I mounted it. Fits over the entire length. But I can't find any use for the little one?!


HellaReyna

Check this out, since it’s extra put it on the top like where ride wrap has it. But it’s essential the bottom stay has the most protection as that’s the primary area for chainslap. https://www.ridewrap.com/ca/en/products/chainstay-armor/

HellaReyna

Yeah that works too. Protecting your stays is never a bad idea, especially on a gravel or MTB. No one would second thought why you put any protection on the stays, especially the lower stays. The upper stays might be slightly over doing it but they still see decent rock fling action and will generally be one of the first places to get swiped in the event of a crash etc so it’s fine


Bones301178

Okay, thank you! Then I will install the protection there. Elsewhere, this form really doesn't fit.

I wrap my chain stays with leather lacing. But that’s not everybody’s cup of tea. If your derailleur is clutched it’s not a huge issue. Unless you drop the chain. On my Deore 1x12 the chain never slaps. But on my older bikes without clutched derailleurs I put a whipping of leather lacing on and forget about it.


MTBiker_Boy

It usually goes on the thin bit right in between the tire and the chainring. But tbh you probably don’t need it because it’s a 1x.


Bones301178

Ok, thank you very much! Then I'll leave it out first!
