Sometimes it feels like the primary purpose of chains is to slap your chainstay... They wreck your paint and make a hell of a racket!

The STFU Stay Guard is here to help with this issue. The Stay Guard is a low-profile protector that uses a tapered fin design to (much more silently) absorb chain slaps. Sticky as hell, it’s best applied to the top or bottom of your chain stays. Really keen to get rid of all noises? Consider using it on the bottom of your chain stay and pairing it with an STFU Bike Drivetrain Damper on top.

At 400mm long (56mm wide x 12mm high), it’s long enough to cover the top of your chain stay, part of your seat stay and even a section of the bottom of your chain stay. You might even have some spare to give a mate whos bike needs a chill pill.

In our opinion, this product is more effective than Marsh Guard slapper tape and comparable to VHS MTB tape. It is certainly more effective than the hard plastic chainstay protectors that come on many bikes and do very little to tone down the racket!

Whilst this product does stick to your frame well, if your heel rubs your chainstay we recommend adding a zip tie (or two) to ensure it stays stuck on there in the long term.
