Way back in the late 80's I was selling Klein’s and had it out
with Gary. I was explaining this concern and he indicated that the problem
was not with the frame. I called him ignorant and he explained it was
not his problem. Two weeks later one of his engineers called and asked
more on what I thought might help rectify this situation. I said we should
bolt on a plate to prevent the chain from going past the chain stay.
Hence the anti-chain-suck-thing.
This is my version and is a perfect working system. This plate has been on this frame for 2 years. See any marks from chan suck on the stays? Simple water bottle mounts installed into the chain stay allows a plate to be firmly mounted preventing any damage to your precious frame. Cheep too! Just $30 to install the mounts and if you want me to custom file a plate then adds another $25.
Save your frame!
