I’ve seen a few users advise using sticky hook-side velcro as a chainstay protector and want to give it a go on my C456.

Can’t find exactly the right item on ebay, but a few things that would probably do the job.

Thought I’d ask in case somebody can point out the right thing or suggest another source?

A good haberdashers.

B&Q

Aye, B&Q. Or probably a big Tesco. Or ebay obviously- this looks suitable

An online shop that sells tape.

Lovely ta, your link has just what I was after Northwind.

Thanks all.

I got some heavy duty stuff from Hobbycraft, but it wont stay stuck. Have used IPA to clean and heated chainstay before applying but its always come off after a few wet rides. Shame as it works well to silence chainslap. Mines currently held on with duct tape.

Hmmm yes, maybe I need extra strong adhesive version.

Dunelm mill 50mm £1 per metre is the place

Or use an old inner tube

Why Velcro over a neoprene chain guide is it weight.

Velcro is generally tougher, quieter,longer lasting, neater.
