I realize this is an old thread, but likely an old problem that continues for those of us who would prefer NOT to suffer the damage (aesthetic or worse) of chain drop and the unsightly effects on the frame whether it be at the chain stay or BB area.
My bike came with two small metalic plate that appear to be stuck to the frame by way of some type of adhesive. The problem is, they are not located where the chain mars the frame. Other than moving these little frame protectors, is there some solution that can be placed in the area of vulnerability while keeping the two plates where they are? The area I'm referencing is the area behind the crank.
Your feedback and tips are appreciated in advance.
