OK, if you have a triple, you'll probably drop the chain and grind the frame there... the only problem with chainstay protectors is you always put them on in the wrong spot, until you drop the chain, grind the paint, and find out where it should have been.
Steel frame- yeah, I care.
Aluminum frame- who cares, put a SpongeBob sticker on it, eventually I'll strip it bare then paint it flat black. CycloStealth... like you won't know it's a Cannondale by the tubes.
Ti frame- man, I love that bike. What paint? Who would cover up those welds?
