Review on 🦎 Lizard Skins Small Neoprene Chainstay Protector Bike: Ultimate Cycling Gear for Chain Protection by Larry Blanco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great kit for quiet chain operation and spring guard

Last year I used the Small Lizard Skins li9960 neoprene spring guard. I ride all year round, on average 5 days a week. That means I've ridden the Lizard Skins profile in any weather and temperature. Lizard Skins is made in the USA from neoprene sealed with tight stitching and heavy duty thread. I had no problems with the stitching, no loose or hanging threads. According to the Lizard Skins website, all protectors are 280mm long and come in various sizes for chainstays with the following circumferences (LS protector weights): Small (21g) - 70-100mm Medium (27g) - 100-125mm Large ( 31 g) – 125-140mm As I said at the beginning of this review, I've been riding the Lizard Skins chainguard for almost a year. (July 2019). It does an excellent job of eliminating chain noise and damage that can be caused by chain crushing. I rinse it out with a hose to wash off dust and dirt when I wash my MBT. A few times I swished it in a bucket of soap and water to clean it. I once put Oxiclean and soap and water in a bucket to really get the dirt and grease off the tread. It worked very well and didn't hurt at all. All in all it was a great investment. Under $10 for something that protects so well and you don't have to think about while riding. I would definitely recommend Lizard Skins chain guard to anyone thinking about protecting their chain. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope it was helpful to you.
