    Rubber protection coming off mach 5.7 carbon

    Anyone else having this? If so, what has been the best solution. I'm guessing to peel off completely then use some form of liquid nails or similar. ..

    I don't own a mach, but on my bikes (especially my carbon frame) i never trust the stick-on stock rubber because it leaves too much exposed on the inside of the chain stay and up the seatstay.

    A trick i got from my lbs was to cut a tube down the middle and wrap the chainstay, secure on the end with zip ties. This allows you to get right up around the chain rings. I also do it about 1/3rd of the way up the seat stay. In your pic, the inside of the seatstay looks vulnerable even before any peeling.

    If that's too heavy for your liking you could try a superlight tube or some light road handlebar wrap.
