Hmm, my posts don't seem to make it here, but will try again since nobody's mentioned:
The now unavailable and apparently un-invented, but formerly ubiquitous (early 80s; height of civilization time) stainless steel adhesive chainstay protector is the only way to go (or to have gone). Easy grease wipe-off, silver, made of an actual durable material rather than some ugly plastic that'll immediately get all chewed & ripped up... I bought a few about a dozen years ago on eb (I think the guy made them himself), I think soma or somebody very briefly had them about 5 years ago, otherwise not seen since everybody had them back in the old days. To me this is such an obviously superior, cheap to manufacture, easy, and practical in every way thing that it's bizarre nobody's making and selling them. I think there is one eb.uk seller with them but the post to the us is prohibitive. A few years ago I mistakenly tried a vo 'elk leather' one out of curiosity, but it turned out to be ugly, of cheap-looking thin shaggy leather, and just ridiculous. Far as I'm concerned, chipped paint is a better situation than any of the other 'protectors' nowadays. robert 'subversive' liebermann fox, alaska -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
