You might consider fabric style medical stretch tape. The stretch holds it in
place, lots of colors, and no residue and cheap. When it looks tired put a new
color on.....

I was surprised to find that the 2 otherwise generally well equipped bike
shops I asked today not only didn’t have any chainslap protectors for sale, but
that the youngsters in service were rather fuzzy on the idea. Back in my day
(he said, bitterly, snuffling into his whiskers) they were as common as Velox
bar plugs. I’m curious, do all modern bikes come with helicopter tape or some
stick-on device already applied, or …, well, I can’t think of any reason why
they aren’t commonly available.
Does anyone know of, even better, have for disposal (sale, trade, charity) a
simple, black plastic chainslap protector? Preferably one that zip ties rather
than sticks to the chainstay?
Failing that, can anyone link me to a source, or to a source for reasonable
bulk quantities of good quality helicopter tape or, better yet, pre-cut
helicopter tape chainslap protectors? Would the 3M brand guarantee that the
helicopter tape is good quality?
Sorry, I’m so used to single ring/cog setups that I’ve not given this much
thought since 2016 when I found some silver stick-on protectors, but I don’t
want permanent silver on the Roadeo with the black group.
If nothing transpires, I’ll use some of that hockey stick tape that I bought
far too much of a decade and more ago.
Thanks.
