I wouldn’t use it for chain slap. Our bikes come with a thick rubber to deal with chain slab. This product is just to protect from branches or rocks flying up from the tires etc. just like the original product. This product is not as thick as the piece that’s on the downtube. That needs to be thicker because of the direct hits from rocks off the front tire. It does appear to be about the same thickness as the rest of the protection that’s all the seat stays etc.How thick is the Scotchgard product? The Shesh guards are pretty thick. I think they prevent some chain slap noise as well as providing paint protection.
I found it pretty simple to cut to the right shape, but yeah I’m sure you’ll be able to the original stuff from your LSB or online.Thanks. I was kinda hoping to replace with the pre-cut/fitted stock ones....
My '19 Levo (carbon front, alloy rear) doesn't have that piece of plastic. I've never noticed it on newer models. Looks like you're in the US - I'd give amaincycling a call. They've been a good source of Spesh service parts for me.
