In doing the groceries at Aldi the other day i picked up some Aluminium tape for $3 wtih the idea of using it for a chainstay protector also. I tried that out on one of my bikes today and it looks quite good too. Thinner than the gaffa tape and it has a paper backing on it that you peel off to reveal the sticky. A few creases in this one, but i reckon you could get it smoother pretty easy, just wanted to share the idea. You need to cut a taper for the last 5-10 cm of the strip as the stay gets thinner too. The strategically placed board in the pic is trying to hide the embarassingly messy workshed


Cheers
