Younever want to think about the wear-and-tear your frame will face when youfirst see its gleaming paint and sparkling componentry just out of the box, but facing facts is important. "Smooth" is a relative descriptor of most roads, and rocks, grit, and other unexpected road debris accost frames more often than most of us realize every time youhead out on the roads. Taking the extra time to add Lizard Skins' Adhesive Frame Protector to your chainstays and other high-wear areas will prevent overnight scratches and nicks from appearing without your knowledge, preserving the aesthetic of your frame without damaging it. Lizard Skins backs it with a highly-adhesive coating to ensure it stays in-place on your frame over the miles without unsightly peeling or chipping.
